Are you using an Apache Resource Agent when configuring it within Pacemaker?
Then when you manually test it you are using the LSB for Apache I would assume.
You could try to use the Apache LSB in Pacemaker and verify it works that way.

I would look at the differences between what the RA is doing and the init script - I would expect your problem lies there...
