That depends how you configure your new apache installation, I am sure you could set the document root to the existing directory (if the permissions are correct). > 2. if my existing PHP 5.2.6 will have to be removed (and how would I do > that anyway) and the ports version installed instead? You should install php5 +apache2 for your apache2 from MacPorts. See also <http://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MAMP>. > 3.

No. To enable apache2 as a permanent daemon, use: sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist To disable you use a similar command, just replace load with unload.
