I'm not familiar with your linux distro, but I suspect that /usr/sbin/apache2 is the apache binary and that by starting it directly you get a default config (do "/usr/sbin/apache2 -V" to find out where). On the other hand, /etc/init.d/apache2 is probably a shell-script that defines a different config file when it starts apache (look inside /etc/init.d/apache2 to see what it does). So each method loads a different config and that's why you get different results...

A list of compiled-in modules is pretty useless. Please provide a better description of your problem, including error messages, configuration information and anything else relevant.
