To shutdown Apache type "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop"
To restart it type "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart"
To start the server while it is stopped "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start"

This is a PCMCIA card I assume. The high then low tone indicates an
error configuring the device (usually the driver load didn't work for
whatever reason). The answer is to check to make sure that you have the
most recent version of the card services software. This should allow you
be more capable in using PCMCIA devices.
