Jan 30, 2014 at 18:32 comment added Justin Thanks. While I was able to get Apache stopped so localhost address was freed up (no more "It works!" page), I still could not run my IDE on port 80 for the reason you describe in your answer. I'll just deal with the ugly URL for dev.
Jan 29, 2014 at 22:41 comment added Darth Android @Justin Unless you have something that is specifically required to be port 80 even in development, I would just use port 8080. It creates the least amount of headaches/work and security holes.
Jan 29, 2014 at 20:21 comment added Justin If OSX's Apache is running on port 80 and I cannot use it from my IDE, is there any point in it running? Would it make sense to turn it off? Is that possible?
Jan 29, 2014 at 20:16 comment added James T Snell He could probably run his IDE as root.. ''sudo open /Applications/PHPStorm'' - though I'm not sure if that IDE uses Workspaces in a way that he can point it at the project.. For dev/testing, running on a port above 1024 would seem like a bit less effort than an nginx reverse proxy, though they are fairly easy to establish.
Jan 29, 2014 at 20:15 comment added Yarek T Or an Apache proxy, if you are more familiar with that. Nginx rocks though. Oh and since you have OSX's Apache running on port 80, you'll have to stop it (or use it as a proxy)
