I am sure about the pidfile location because of I am using CentOS. Moreover, I re-checked it in init script:

# grep pidfile /etc/init.d/httpd
# pidfile: /var/run/httpd.pid

The pidfile should be created either by the start script or started program itself (in this case apache).

Are you sure that your apache instance creates the pidfile /var/run/httpd.pid? The pidfile location depends on apache configuration (for example ubuntu uses usually /var/run/apache2.pid which can be customized either via apache2.conf PidFile statement or apache's envvars file APACHE_PID_FILE variable)
