[users@httpd] Uninstalling Apache on OS X
Greetings to all! My name is James and I am new to this list. I'm working on learning Apache, HTTP, and all that jazz. I have an Apple Powerbook running OS X 10.4.4, and I would like to know if it is safe and/or possible to uninstall Apache.
Reason being, I learn best by starting at the beginning, as it were, and I would like to be able to start fresh with Apache by compiling and controlling where all the files and stuff go. Most of the documentation on the Web about Apache talks about it being installed in /usr/local/, and it's not like that on my system. And my OCD compels me to make it so. ;-)
So, is it a good idea to uninstall Apache from OS X and install fresh from compiling the source (I'll stick with 1.3 until Apple releases some info about 2.X support)? Or should I just leave it be and make do with what I have? If I can uninstall it, what would be the best way to go about it? I'll be doing some research on the Web, but I thought I'd throw this out to this mailing list as I'm sure you people would be the best to answer.
Many thanks, and take care.
James

James--
Have you considered leaving the onboard installation of Apache
(located in /usr) as it is, but turned off, and building and
installing your very own Apache elsewhere (say, /usr/local)?

The location of web docs on Mac are /Library/Webserver/Documents
You can check this by looking in /etc/httpd/ht tpd.conf for line that
says: DocumentRoot
Apache 2 can be installed over apache 1.3.x
