Install Apache with Homebrew

Installing Apache

# Start by stopping the built-in Apache, if it's running, and prevent it from starting on boot.
# This is one of very few times you'll need to use sudo:
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist 2>/dev/null

# We need to tap homebrew-dupes because "homebrew-apache/httpd22" relies on "homebrew-dupes/zlib"
# and install Apache 2.2 with the event MPM, and we'll use Homebrew's OpenSSL library
# since it's more up-to-date than OS X's:
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install -v homebrew/apache/httpd22 --with-brewed-openssl --with-mpm-event

# In order to get Apache and PHP to communicate via PHP-FPM, we'll install the mod_fastcgi module:
brew install -v homebrew/apache/mod_fastcgi --with-brewed-httpd22

Setting up Apache

# To prevent any potential problems with previous mod_fastcgi setups,
# let's remove all references to the mod_fastcgi module (we'll re-add the new version later):
sed -i '' '/fastcgi_module/d' $(brew --prefix)/etc/apache2/2.2/httpd.conf

# Add the logic for Apache to send PHP to PHP-FPM with mod_fastcgi, and reference
# that we'll want to use the file ~/Sites/httpd-vhosts.conf to configure our VirtualHosts.
# We need to run this command in a subprocess
(export USERHOME=$(dscl . -read /Users/`whoami` NFSHomeDirectory | awk -F"\: " '{print $2}') ; export MODFASTCGIPREFIX=$(brew --prefix mod_fastcgi) ; cat >> $(brew --prefix)/etc/apache2/2.2/httpd.conf <<EOF
