When the server shuts down cleanly, it also removes the httpd.pid PID file.
This avoids the problem that apachectl cannot decide whether a "kill -0 pid" failed because of permissions (or system restrictions) or because the pid doesn't exist. Upon startup, an info msg is logged if an old PID file remains.
