 Restart Apache using `sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -k restart` to make this change take effect. You can then view your personal pages by accessing http://localhost/~username/, where "username" is your Mac OS X account's short name.
 
+However, the purpose of launchd is to notice processes that stop without its knowledge, and to restart them. So if you use apachectl -k restart, launchd may notice apache "crashing" and restart it itself, confusing apachectl. Instead, you may want to use launchctl to unload apache2, then load it again. This will result in a short interruption of service.
+
+This is done by using 
+
+{{{
+sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist
+}}}
+
+to stop apache and then using
+
+{{{
+sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist
+}}}

+to start it again.
