Apache On MAC OS X : HTTPD Command Line Parameters
posted 22 June 2006, Thursday
When starting Personal Web Sharing in MAC OS X several things occur. The first is Apache (original installation on 10.4) is launched. At this point the command line can be your friend. The commands below provide information about the HTTPD installation. This information provides valuable information on the current Apache installation. Having this information at hand provides the knowledge for a smother upgrade to a newer version of Apache.
I used FINK to get the upgrade done from version 1.3 to 2.2. However, the information below identified the paths and configuration for HTTPD. As a result we setup Apache in the fink directory., The original (or previous) installation was updated and replaced by symbolic links of the new installation..
