When you need to start, stop or restart the Apache (httpd) service on Mac OS X. And you are connected via ssh or telnet to the console terminal of the server, you can still control Apache (httpd) daemon.
To start httpd:
sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl start
To stop httpd:
sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl stop
To restart httpd:
sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl restart
