Synopsis: When the httpd.pid file is deleted, you can not shut down the Apache Server State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Sun Aug 15 17:42:30 PDT 1999 State-Changed-Why: Then don't do that! Using a pid file to store the pid in order to be able to send signals to a running process is an extremely typical way of doing things on Unix. If you delete it, then of course you can't use it to do things. So don't delete it. If you do delete it, all you have to do is manually find the parent process of the httpds and kill it.
