Please post in plain text... This means that you told apache to stop but one of the httpd daemons (child process) did not exit (probably it was waiting for a CGI script to finish or something). So the parent had to send it a SIGTERM (which is a more severe signal). See http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_12_01.html for more about signals. BTW, it is good you look in the error_log, but don't be too worried by what you see there. It is normal for occasional messags to appear. If in doubt, try simply pasting the message into Google as a first thing.
