The former runs the init script (/etc/init.d/ or somewhere similar
depending on your system) that starts HTTPD.  It may do more than just
start the daemon, for example, it may specify a config file, empty a
log file, add a virtual IP to your NIC, or anything else that needs to
be done.  The only way to know what it actually does is to read the
init script.

The latter simply runs the daemon.
