This is what I had done:

1) Stopped the apache2 service.
2) Still found a non-existent /usr/sbin/httpd process running. Killed it. It
got killed.
3) Re-started the apache2 service. It worked fine.
4) But after some minutes, the problem was restarted.

The root-cause was vulnerable copies of awstats installed improperly on my
server by the other admin (for details read my other posts)

Thanks for replying.
