Err... no. Running httpd starts apache using the default httpd.conf file.
apachectl is just a script that performs various administration functions
in a convenient manner. All 'apachectl start' does is wrap the command
'/usr/local/sbin/httpd' in some code that tests to see if it's running,
then tests to see if it started successfully.
