Installing APACHE on MAC

Hi, I have been struggling for a while trying to configure my MAMP, I've work with Linux before and I manage to configure my LAMP pretty well. But MAC is ginving me a hard time. What I've could do so far is starting the apache serve although i dont know if the apache server I started is the one that i am seeing on my browser, that because when i go to localhost i see the It Works! message, but if i change the index.html in /Library/WebSever/Documents/ and reload the browser or open another browser and search the address localhost, I am still getting the same It Works message and not the one i'd change. I have try different browsers, clearing cache, incognito windows. I getting crazy here. I would appreciate some help

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Mac OS X has Apache built-in. I'll ask this thread be moved to the developer forum, where more people would know how to properly set it up. Note: Mac Pros are desktops an Macbook Pros are notebooks. MAC is an acronym for media access control, a hexadecimal address for network devices, and Mac is the shorthand name for Macintosh.

There is no index.html file in that directory. There is an index.html.en file. That is the one you should edit.

I edit that one index.html.en and it doesn't show the changes in the browser. I clered thecache, restarted apache and it didnt work. Could there be two installations of apache running? I dont know it is very strange, although I can only find one apache2 in my /etc/ directory
