If it cannot write to the PID file, it is definitely running as the wrong
user. What's your apache config, is it standard install or did you modify
it? is your httpd binary setuid, or something? Could you send output from

$ ls -l /usr/local/sbin/httpd
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  388651 Oct 20 12:34 /usr/local/sbin/httpd

How do you start apache? Best way is to add

 apache_enable="YES"

to /etc/rc.conf, and then use

 # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh start

to start.

Do you have a www user in /etc/passwd? does its entry look like this:

 www:*:80:80:World Wide Web Owner:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin

/Palle
