/sbin is not in the $PATH that is searched for regular users.  So when you
changed to root using the "su" command, you still had the $PATH from the
user you logged in as.  Adding a dash after su will give you the root
$PATH, like this:

su -

You can also type the full path to the command:

/sbin/chkconfig httpd off
/sbin/chkconfig httpd on

or change to /sbin and run it directly:

cd /sbin
./chkconfig httpd off
./chkconfig httpd on

The "./" says to run the command in the directory that you're currently
sitting in.
