First of all you didn't specify which distro you are using, as centosboy mentioned, /etc/init.d startup scripts are based on Linux system if you are using Unix based system(solaris9 or more)you will have to use smf (system management facility). In Unix also having /etc/init.d startup script but smf may be easy

I am sorry but none out of these worked.

strange: when i type just HTTP in root. i get a different path for apache.

/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd for usage.
i also tried /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd restart but didn't worked.

As others have asked, which distribution are you using? It's going to be very hard to help you if you don't supply required information.

In that case use

Code:

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart

So the above command exited without errors. That means that apache was restarted.
You can verify it reading error_log as already centosboy mentioned above.
