Two instances of Apache on the same server

I need to run two instances of Apache on the same SuSE based server but there
is something very basic I don't manage. In order to run to servers
I'll need two pid files
to hold the two process ids. So the first thing I tried was to change
the pidfile for the existing server.
I shut down Apache and the changed /etc/init.d/apache2
the following line:
: ${pidfile:=/var/run/httpd2.pid}
to:
: ${pidfile:=/var/run/httpd2b.pid}
The problem is that after starting the web server using
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
it still created the /var/run/httpd2.pid file and NOT the
/var/run/httpd2b.pid file.
When I tried to stop the web server:
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
I got:
"Shutting down httpd2 (not running) "
As an experience, then I renamed
/var/run/httpd2.pid to /var/run/httpd2b.pid
and tried to shut down the server again
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
It printed:
Shutting down httpd2 (waiting for all children to terminate)
and then it got stuck for quite a while (20-30 sec maybe)
In the end it stopped the server but also left the
/var/run/httpd2b.pid file.
I am quite lost as looking at the /etc/init.d/apache2 script I don't know
where does it take the old name from. Not even where does it create
the pid file.
regards
Gabor
ps. This is the /etc/init.d/apache2 script:
