I'll not speak to the method of restart, which has been covered.
`which httpd' should have worked.  It must mean the /sbin /usr/sbin
directories are not in your path.  Try `echo $PATH' to find out.

Further if you installed it from rpm, you can use rpm commands to
locate all files in package:

  rpm -ql httpd

Or to find binaries:
  rpm -ql httpd |grep bin
