Item2561: Apache doesn't start if foswiki is not configured yet

If Foswiki is not configured yet, i.e. LocalSite.cfg doesn't exist, ModPerlEngineContrib prevents apache from running and error messages like these are written to apache logs:

[error] Content-type: text/plain\n\nPerl error when reading LocalSite.cfg: 
Please inform the site admin.

We need to verify this with the new Bootstrap.
