Description of issue

Hi friends,

historically I have installed local webserver without homebrew. I wanted to run SSL and after many attempts wasn't able to do it. So I've chose homebrew as a simplier variant.

Currently I have

• http://localhost returning 'It Works!' but I don't know from where (and which httpd use)
• https://localhost showing the right directory ~/Sites, but don't interpret PHP (shows PHP source code)

I want to have https://localhost using homebrew, http://localhost would be redirected to https://localhost

brew services list returns

httpd error  1 username ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.httpd.plist
php   started  username ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.php.plist

brew services restart httpd returns

Stopping `httpd`... (might take a while)
==> Successfully stopped `httpd` (label: homebrew.mxcl.httpd)
==> Successfully started `httpd` (label: homebrew.mxcl.httpd)

which httpd returns

/opt/homebrew/bin/httpd

where httpd returns

/opt/homebrew/bin/httpd
/usr/sbin/httpd

Any ideas how to manage it?

Thanks.

You need to check what the error was in starting httpd. I believe brew services info httpd will tell you where the log files are.

That's seems to be what connects to the port, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4421633/who-is-listening-on-a-given-tcp-port-on-mac-os-x seems to suggest you need more flags.

So it seems you already have a version of httpd running as root. What does sudo brew services info httpd say? If it's also failed, what does sudo apachectl status say?

Hm, I have reinstalled homebrew, and localhost is working correctly now. I went step-by-step by https://getgrav.org/blog/macos-sequoia-apache-multiple-php-versions, one of steps was brew install openssl but in httpd.conf is Listen 80. How to run HTTPS://localhost? I tried to change to port 443 Listen 443, it won't work. How to setup HTTPS?

Currently sudo lsof -i -P | grep LISTEN | grep 443 returns
