LoadModule rewrite_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite. #LoadModule rewrite_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so Group xxxx #ServerName ServerName localhost Locate the LoadModule section and append the following line to the bottom (change version number as needed): LoadModule php_module in the same file update the following by finding the striken out text and replacing it with the line directly under (replace xxxx with your user’s home directory): Listen 8080 You should not be able to find any “php” strings in the file (search with CTRL+W). Open the httpd configuration file using nano: nano /opt/homebrew/etc/httpd/nf Now you need to configure Apache to use the installed version of PHP. Verify that PHP is running by checking the version number: php -v Make Apache use PHP For the latter: brew services restart php

The last lines of output should suggest to either run PHP in the background (with auto-relaunch on Mac restart) or foreground. Install current version of PHP: brew install php Which should return the Homebrew path: /opt/homebrew/bin/httpd Install PHP You can verify that the correct Apache installation is running: which httpd Now issue the following command to have Apache run in the background (also after Mac restarts): brew services restart httpd

Install the current Apache version: brew install httpd If you get an error (command not found) when running the following command you’ll have to install homebrew to proceed. Older (EOLed) versions of Ubuntu or Debian are using init. If you get an error, it simply means your macOS version didn’t have Apache already installed and running. To restart the Apache service, run: sudo systemctl restart apache2. To restart Apache use the command: sudo systemctl restart apache2 If Apache was previously disabled, a status check will show that it is up and running again.

Start by removing built-in Apache from macOS: sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ To save time I recommend installing in one terminal window, and editing the configuration files in another. For the most agile solution to Apache and PHP on your Mac, install both using Homebrew.

Macos restart apache
