    Hi everyone,

    I am brand new to web development and I just installed apache 2 on my MacBook, not knowing that my MackBook comes preloaded with apache on it. I downloaded the source from [httpd.apache.org...] and followed the compile and install instructions. I can start apache from terminal but I can't stop it. I went into the System Preferences and turned off web sharing, which I think shut down the default apache server, but now I think the new apache that I installed is still running because I can still see [localhost...] The reason I think the new apache is running is because after I turned off websharing, [localhost...] shows the index page I put in the new "Document Root" of the httpd.conf file I edited. Now it seems like I can't stop the apache server from running because I can always see [localhost...] I've tried "apachectl -k stop" and "httpd -k stop" in terminal and I get "httpd (no pid file) not running". I would really like to just have the apache that comes preloaded on the macbook and get rid of any damage I may have done with the new install. Does anybody have any suggestions that may help me? Thanks.
