The /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd script tries to shut down Apache by executing
killproc against the parent Apache process.  It does this by picking up
the PID from a file, "/var/run/httpd/httpd.pid" (that's the default).

If your Apache config puts the PID in a different file, that'd explain
it.

Make sure the "PidFile" directive in your Apache config matches the
"pidfile" directive in "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd".  Note that the
"PidFile" directive in the Apache config may be a relative path (one
not starting with a "/"), in which case the first part of the path to
the PidFile is that in the "ServerRoot" directive.

In an F12 system where Apache was installed via RPM, the default Apache 
config sets "ServerRoot" to "/etc/httpd" and "PidFile" set to
"run/httpd.pid".

Looking at the directory structures, "/etc/httpd/run" is a symlink to
"../../var/run/httpd".  So Apache should put the PID in
"/var/run/httpd/httpd.pid", which is where the script expects it.
Damned convoluted, but there it is.

You should start Apache and verify that the values returned by these two 
commands match:

	cat /etc/httpd/run/httpd.pid
	cat /var/run/httpd/httpd.pid

You should also sort out the python version mismatch.
