service httpd-e-smith status
down: /service/httpd-e-smith: 0s, want up

Now that web services has been started did you run a port scan again ?
AFAIU without the appropriate service running the ports will not be open (& accessible).

that mean the base apache is up (httpd-admin) 

httpd-admin is your server manager

httpd-e-smith is your basic web server

Do you have another instance running ?

service httpd status

When you say you did the classic "signal-event", that is rather unclear, as there are many possible signal-event's you could have done.
Do you mean
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot
???

A bug report has been opened in Bugzilla, it is being attended by a Developer, please follow there.  Duplication of information is counter-productive.
Thanks.

Mary, if you want to help troubleshoot, please do so in the bug tracker. Not here. You are not helping by undermining the bug tracker.

"0s, want up" almost always indicates a service which is crashing immediately on startup.

"httpd: bad group name www" - this is very likely the core problem. Why does this system not have a group 'www'?

All followup to the bug tracker please.
