Not compatible with brew installed Apache

[jonom]

This script modifies the config file at /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf which is for the copy of Apache that ships with OS X.

If you install Apache with homebrew the config file is located at /usr/local/etc/apache2/2.4/httpd.conf

Maybe you could update the script to modify both files?

Why use homebrew Apache:

The latest macOS 10.12 Sierra comes with Apache 2.4 pre-installed, however, it is no longer a simple task to use this version with Homebrew because Apple has removed some required scripts in this release. However, the solution is to install Apache 2.4 via Homebrew and then configure it to run on the standard ports (80/443).

You just have to change the path in this file: /usr/local/Cellar/brew-php-switcher/1.7/bin/phpswitch.sh
Line 40 apache_conf_path="/usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf"

Then its working like charm

@4bai's suggestion works. However, it's a hacky workaround -- apache_conf_path should be a global variable so it can be overridden in ~/.bash_profile.

It's also more than just the path to the apache conf file, there's also the matter of what means by which it should restart apache. If you're using home-brew apache, then it should call "brew services restart httpd" rather than sudo apachectl restart. I mean it could use apachectl, but it shouldn't do it as root with the home-brew installed version.

It might be prudent to allow a configuration file in your home folder for this specifically, so you can specify whatever config options are needed to let this script know what to do - which conf file to modify, and what means by which to restart apache.

v2.4
apache_conf_path="/etc/apache2/httpd.conf" in 55 line

sudo apachectl stop
sudo apachectl start
in 150 and 151 line.

Change
apache_conf_path="/opt/homebrew/etc/httpd/httpd.conf"

sudo brew services stop httpd
sudo brew services start httpd
