I have an apache running in /usr/local/apache2/ on my devbox which is how I like it. I registered its startup with

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.apache2.httpd.plist

when I restarted my mac, i found it wasn't starting because a httpd process already existed. Using which/locate I found that this was

/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

and so I issued this command:

sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

However, after the next restart, the process is there and running again. This time around, I moved that plist to my home folder, because I do not want it to run.

Am I using launchctl wrong?

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

The -w option makes it permanent.
