When you logged in as www-data manually you started a login shell. You can think of that shell as a "pre shell" where all of www-data's dot files were read, environment variables were set, etc. before starting up the command shell.
When apache is running, it is not "logged in" as www-data, so none of the dot files are read and you needed to explicitly specify which dot files you want run.
