Finding /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl was "obvious." But not from any pllist file.

Looking at that file and comparing it with Apple's they are significantly different. I.e. /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl contains no reference to a plist file, OR the use of launchctl. It looks like a non-Apple oriented, plain Unix start file.

Other way around: the MacPorts launchd plist uses apachectl to actually start the web server, as indicated by the apache2 Portfile. apachectl itself does not reference launchd, it is referenced *by* launchd via the plist.

That is the set of instructions I was looking for... I know I've seen them someplace, but cannot find them anywhere! I don't see them in the Portfile for apache2. Maybe they have just gotten lost in an upgrade.

They should be something like:

sudo /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/apache2.wrapper stop
sudo /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/apache2.wrapper start
sudo /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/apache2.wrapper restart

It's not the most obvious thing in the world.

Perhaps you want the "A" portion of MAMP:
