for starting the "httpd" service:
in a console as root run this command: setup
then, go to "System services", mark "httpd", press "ok", then "quit"
and that's all; next time when you boot your Fedora you will have "httpd" up and running.

now, regarding the other problem you've mentioned, i did not encountered. Please go though the above steps and see if the problem persists.

cheers

Stopping httpd: [FAILED]
starting httpd: (98) Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80

These three are the errors which i'm getting on my screen while accessing httpd service.
But when i open firefox and in address bar type local host then the apache page is showing so that means it is running ... don't know what to do please help dear

Try to run this commands, it seems to me that you have errors in your httpd.conf
httpd -S
httpd -t

and run the commands as ROOT !
