systemd won't load httpd, but rc.d will

When I try to start httpd via systemd I get the following:

root ~ $ systemctl start httpd.service
Job for httpd.service failed. See 'systemctl status httpd.service' and 'journalctl -n' for details.
root ~ false $ journalctl -n

If I try to start it with rc.d, this happens:

root ~ false $ /etc/rc.d/httpd start
/etc/rc.d/httpd: line 5: /etc/rc.conf: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/httpd: line 6: /etc/rc.d/functions: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/httpd: line 12: stat_busy: command not found
/etc/rc.d/httpd: line 15: add_daemon: command not found
/etc/rc.d/httpd: line 16: stat_done: command not found

Despite the above errors this does actually start Apache. But I don't know what is stopping systemd from doing so. This is a fresh install of Arch and I was following the instructions on the LAMP wiki page.
Any ideas?

Identical to this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151596 but with no explanation of what fixed it
