The beauty of comman line control! Open a terminal... "sudo apachectl stop" You can also do a start, restart, configtest (great for checking the compile of the httpd.conf file) and more. > >Also, even though Apache is running when I try to connect at 127.0.0.1 I get >nothing?!? > Well, once again, command line can be your friend... The apache logs (access and error) are under /var/log/httpd/ From a Terminal window, type: tail -f /var/log/httpd/access_log Then try loading 127.0.0.1. See if it even sees the access request. Control-C will cancel the continuous tail. Try tailing the error_log in that same directory and see if an error occurs. I would even vi the error_log and see if anything complained while it tried to start. Also, make sure that apache is really running too, via a process list. My fav is: ps wax | grep http Hope that helps. -Alex >
