Solution

  • I have used this on a few Macs running OSX 10.8:

    http://amz.clickontyler.com/WebSharing.zip

    It creates a PrefPane in System Preferences, with two toggles: - web on/off - php disabled/enabled

    On one of the Macs it didn't work at first. I uninstalled and re-installed it. It can be uninstalled by right-clicking on the PrefPane, and selecting “Remove Preference Pane”. Or by removing it from YourUserName/Library/PreferencePanes/ or from /Library/PreferencePanes, depending how you installed it.

    On re-install, it worked, but I think it doesn't 'keep track' of the service if for instance, you just kill the httpd process, or stop it through Activity Monitor. I don't think WebSharing PrefPane knows. It has to be re-toggled.
