Compare the results of the command
echo PATH
on both terminals.
Whenever you issue a command in a shell without using an absolute
(root-relative) path to that command, like say, http instead of /usr/
local/bin/httpd, you are asking the shell to fill in the missing bits
for you. The way that works is the shell takes the path, one segment
at a time (segments are separated by a colon in Unix, not sure if
Windows respects that precedent), and prepends each segment before
your command and sees if anything happens. If nothing does, it tries
the next segment in the path until something works or it runs out of
segments.
I suspect that your PATH environment variable is either empty or very
short in the latter terminal, so this process is ending in failure.
