I've actually never had to take any explicit action to remove the
apache pid file -- I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because whenever I
configure apache I have the pid file just go into /var/run, where it
gets nuked automatically.

ftpd isn't its own daemon -- it gets started on demand from inetd.
Is it turned on in your inetd.conf? Is inetd running? Does
/var/log/messages say anything about why inetd couldn't start the
ftp service?
