"Obviously" using "/opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl would be the "expected" way of doing things. But even that probably needs to be documented because the PATH does not include "/opt/local/apache2/bin/" - you have to know that it is there. Because Apple has a copy in /usr/sbin/apachectl which you will get by default. At least I now have the pointer to MMAP again! T.T.F.N. William H.
