apachectl doesn't sufficiently check for previously running instances

           Summary: apachectl doesn't sufficiently check for previously
                    running instances
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.27
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: stafforj@core.afcc.com


apachectl does only a "kill -0" against the PID in the pid file when attempting
to determine if the server is running. It does not check to see if the PID
belongs to a running httpd process. After a reboot, my web server did not start
because the pid that the httpd process had before the reboot was in use by
another system process. I had to manually remove the httpd.pid file and then
start apache.
