The user "apache" cant read/write to rhe fifo by default. So just
make a new group "ser" or "ser_fifo", add the user apache to this group
and make a "chgrp <my_group_name> /tmp/ser_fifo; chmod g+rw /tmp/ser_fifo".

No, startup scripts are run by root which should be suffiecient to
start ser :)

Maybe the path to the required scipts is missing in the init.d/ser script.
Put a "export PATH=$PATH:<path to where your ser stuff is>" into the init
script or only use absolute path names for every prog like 
"/usr/local/sbin/serctl".
