Here you could do quick fix
- Login to WHM
- On the left side there search option type there "Restart"
- HTTP Server (Apache)
- Once you click on the right side there is blue button to Restart service
If it shows you success msg then HTTP server restart success & if any error then contact server administrator/hosting comapany from where you pruchased hosting or connect via SSH and try sending command
httpd restart

I had the same issue. Are you by chance hosting on hostgator VPS? If so, the answer was "oh, you have to use VZ". I didn't know what that was, apparently it is the Parallels Virtual Automation software that is a very low-level server admin tool that sits on port 4643 (for Hostgator at least). From there I was able to see the httpd service listed and restarted it from there.
There's an easier answer though - log in to your VPS through ssh as root and simply execute "service httpd restart". This should also do the trick.
