I dont know whether the apache is running currently or not. i am giving the results of httpd&apache processes, can u figure out whether the apache and httpd running or not.

ps -ef|grep httpd
root 421 1 0 08:57:11 ? 0:00 //usr/lib/httpd -i admin -a
root 414 1 0 08:57:11 ? 0:00 //usr/lib/httpd -i sws_server
nrmsa 7642 7619 0 08:04:58 pts/17 0:00 grep httpd

ps -ef|grep apache
nrmsa 7644 7619 0 08:05:17 pts/17 0:00 grep apache

yesterday i tried to start the apache(in root) by the following command.

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

But this given the following error
