OK, prior to the total reinstall I did, apache was running, as was mysql when I do a ps auxw | grep and query for httpd - no process running now and query for mysql - no process running now
It appears that nothing is running. I just issued "sudo touch /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf" command I followed it by "sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start" I didn't get an error message nor any feedback whatsoever. However, I decided to try to get to localhost, and for some reason, something changed because I got there. So, I issued a " ps auxw | grep httpd": and it seems I now have 11 httpd start processes! _www 1510 0.0 0.0 2451584 1548 ??
