Someone else suggested a sleep between the stop and start.

Depends on the RPM command you use. I think there is a freshen option,
but if it was my system, I'd backup the files I cared about, then remove
and re-install apache.

So I'd suggest:

cp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf $HOME/saved_httpd.conf
cp **ANYTHING ELSE YOU CHANGED** **SOMEWHERE SAFE**
rpm -e httpd
yum install httpd

Then put back the files you backed up.

Please don't try any of this if you are not confident with backing up
any of your apache content or configuration.
