macosx server and stack builder apache

I have installed PgSql 8.4.4-1 on my mac mini and think Dave_P's install system is a very neat piece of work!

I am running macosx server snow leopard.

Prior to running the apache/php part of the install for Drupal etc, my server has Apache running already.

Does the installer detect the running server and configure itself appropriately or should I configure the links manually

Thanks Chris.

The StackBuilder Drupal package needs to user the StackBuilder distribution of Apache & PHP. It cannot use the Apple supplied server, or one you've built yourself. The reason for this is that we want to keep the entire stack independent of the Apple server as it doesn't come with all the build options/modules that we use, and we have no control over what changes Apple might make in future updates. It's significantly easier to manage the entire stack ourselves.

It is possible that you could hack it about to make it work, but I wouldn't advise doing so.

I should also add that it's not just my work - the current team includes Sachin, Ashesh, Dharmendra, Tushar and Sujeet who deserve most of the credit.
