Disable Apache Yosemite Server

I am experiencing the same issue with Server 5.0.4 & Kerio 8.5.2 .

I chose the first of your suggestions and commented out "listen 80" & "listen 443" in /Library/Server/Web/Config/Proxy/apache_serviceproxy.conf and then rebooted. twice. Yet httpd persists.

I have tried "sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist" (which has worked in the past) but now I get "No such file or directory".

Because this is a mail server, I really don't want to use the VirtualHost solution and risk any potential DNS issues. Any other ideas? Many thanks!

What appears when you use Safari on the machine and run: http://localhost and http://localhost:443

Try running this in the Terminal to determine what it running the port

ps -ax | grep httpd

Let's see what is running the service. In the result, you should see the config file that is associated with the service. For example, if you enabled web password reset, you might see this:

479 ?? 0:15.87 /usr/sbin/httpd -D FOREGROUND -f /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/services/auth.conf -E /var/log/apache2/services/auth_error_log

Note the configuration file is auth.conf not the service proxy.

I was able to resolve the issue by trashing Server App. That effectively stopped all OS X services and Kerio can now use ports 80 & 443.

Thanks for your help.

I'm on El Capitan but seem to have found the solution, I ran `ps -ax | grep httpd` and found this file: `/Library/Server/Web/Config/Proxy/apache_serviceproxy.conf`

Editing that file and commenting the Listen for 80 and 443 will stop it from restarting. Then run `sudo killall httpd` to kill existing services and it should work.

I resorted to commenting out some lines in /Library/Server/Web/Config/Proxy/apache_serviceproxy.conf, killall httpd and the ports are no longer 'stolen'.
