I think I can answer this one, maybe, from the scars I have trying to get sshd to work on my 
machine.

Make sure that you pass an argument to the apache executable so it doesn't fork itself when it first 
starts up, much like -D for sshd.  I don't know the right option for Apache, and can't take the time 
right now to look, but I'll bet that this is what is happening.
