There aren't any subdirectories in there, those are the scripts....

try
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd.init start


ps: the files in there should all be owned by root, read only (except by
root), executable, and the httpd script should be about 1k in size....

if that doesn't work, try 

apachectl start

(or restart might be safer unless you're sure it's dead)

Note: in general, the first is better than using apachectl, as they don't
talk to each other well)

as a last resort only....

/usr/sbin/httpd

you shouldn't normally run it this way, but it might give better
messages...note: funny things will happen when you stop it if you start it
this way, this is normal, the lock files will be missing)

gsh
