apachectl: Stop the launchd job.
$ apachectl stop
try on your machine
The command "apachectl stop" is used to stop the Apache HTTP Server running on a Unix or Unix-like system. It is a command-line tool that allows you to control the operation of the Apache server.
When you execute "apachectl stop," it sends a signal to the Apache server process to initiate a graceful shutdown. This means that the server will try to finish processing any current requests and close all connections before shutting down.
By stopping the Apache server, it means that the web server will no longer respond to any requests or serve any web pages or applications. It can be useful when you need to perform maintenance tasks, apply configuration changes, or restart the server.
