and yet all of the httpd daemons are still running.
I can stop all of the httpd with the killall command
but the point is, why does the service command fail
to shut it down?
Note, that when rebooting, httpd starts up with no
reported errors as far as I can tell, it is not in the
messages logs.
Any pointers on this?
That's usually caused by the httpd.pid file being in a different spot
than the startup script expects it to be. The "stop" looks for that
file and uses the PID inside it to kill Apache. If the file can't
be found, it aborts the shutdown.
The scripts expcect the pid file to be /var/run/httpd/httpd.pid. Check
your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and make sure that the "PidFile
argument agrees with that.

Note: my followup posting mentioned the correct pid
location as you did and I checked the script verbosley.
But I now understand how the problem was created!
I ran: System->Administration->Server Settings->HTTP
and by default, it provides: /var/run/httpd.pid which is
not the same as /var/run/httpd/httpd.pid for which the
/etc/init.d/httpd script expects where the pid file should
be!
So, I re-ran that program and fixed the correct pid path
location, killall httpd, and used service httpd start/stop
and it all works correctly now.
So that little program (System->...->HTTP) should be
updated to reflect the proper pid path location - this
could be a minor issue, but can cause others headaches
in trying to figure it out! ;)
