\nedit \/opt\/local\/etc\/apache2\/httpd.conf –> should use admin to edit it
\nOpen geany as admin via command line: sudo “\/Applications\/Geany.app\/Contents\/MacOS\/geany”
\nthen add this line:
\nServerName localhost:80
\nthen unload and load again apache2:
\nsudo port unload apache2
\nsudo port load apache2
