Maybe it's possible for pidfile > to be deleted whilst it is still running but after it starts?? Sure it is... The pidfile is filled after apache starts (and is assigned a process id). It is simply a bookkeeping record so apachectl knows which process to "kill" when you do "apachectl stop". It hasn't anything to do with a running apache.
