There should only be one instance of httpd running as 'root', the original 
parent process created when httpd is started. All other instances are created 
by httpd, and run as the User (and Group) in your httpd.conf, 'httpd' by 
default on a RaQ. In other words, you have mutiple httpd servers running, and 
it's best to shut them down manually and restart it to get it running 
properly:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop

When you've run that command, run this one:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd status

If you see a list of PID's, run it again, and again until you see a message 
telling you httpd is stopped. Then you can start it again:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

HTH,
