OK, the solution was actually very simple. I added the httpd application to the
Firewall. It is located here:
/opt/local/apache2/bin/httpd
This survived a reboot for me.
Steps to add it (sorry if this is obvious):
1. Starting from the Terminal type:
- cd /opt/local/apache2/bin/
- open .
2. Open System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Firewall tab.
3. Click the lock to unlock it.
4. Click Firewall Options…
5. Click +
6. In Finder, drag “httpd” (now visible in Finder from Step 1) to the dialog.
Please let me know if this works for you too and I will add these steps to the
wiki.
Cheers!
Frank
