Make sure you change the user and group that Apache is running on. Create a
user www and a group www hit return for the password (to make sure there is
no password) This should prevent hacking through using the www user. Also,
chown your /home/httpd/* to user www and group www (recursively with -R)
Then read the httpd.pid file in /etc/httpd/
execute the command 'kill -s HUP 'the number found in httpd.pid' ' ,
it will restart itself. This should fix your problem
