check process httpd with pidfile /var/run/httpd/httpd.pid
Are you sure that is where the PID file lives on your server? It will be in different locations depending on your Linux flavor. On my centos 5 box it's at '/var/run/httpd.pid'.
You should cd into the /var/run/httpd/ directory and make sure the httpd.pid file is there.
I've also had issues with Apache pid files dissapearing, so I set the 'start' action to be '/etc/init.d/httpd restart', which makes apache regenerate a new pid file so monit can continue to track it.
