It tells me that apache isn't running and fails to start apache. I failed to mention that this is Apache 1.3. The problem I am having is almost certainly to do with PHP. If I do apachectl graceful, Apache won't start up until I comment out the Load and AddModule directives for php5 in httpd.conf. Then if I uncomment out these directives the server starts fine. Then running apachectl graceful again throws apache into the PID 0 situation, which I only know how to get out of by rebooting the whole server.
