Just stop the Apache server you seem to have installed on the Zimbra server then disable it from starting at boot and restart Zimbra.

i already tried shutting down httpd then restarting zmcontrol (that's how to restart zimbra right?)...but no luck...

Then you need to look in the log files for a clue.

started zmcontrol but still not showing

[zimbra@mailhost ~]$ zmcontrol status

antispam Running
antivirus Running
archiving Running
convertd Running
imapproxy Running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Stopped
zmmtaconfig is running.
convertd running pid: 3653
mailboxd is not running.
zmmailboxdctl is not running
mta Running
snmp Running
spell Running

mailboxd is not running.
zmmailboxdctl is not running

Check /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log. I guess it may be a issue with either /etc/hosts or your DNS so please post the following

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig yourdomain mx
dig yourdomain any
host `hostname` <- note backticks and not single quotes (type as is)

they are all showing the correct IP. even if I try to view web interface via IP is not showing (however if I start httpd it loads the default apache test page meaning the ip is resolving correctly at the least)

Well as asked have you checked your logfiles for any error messages ?

You should still post the information you've been asked for so it can be confirmed as OK.
