Tiger software update replaces apachectl

[Matt Hippely]

If you are comfortable with the command line, all you need to do is to link
to the installation of apache that you want to control from the preferance
panes.


   1. $cd /usr/sbin
   2. $mv apachectl apachectl1-3
   3. $ln -s /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl apachectl


when you list the directory it should give you something like this:
...
apachectl -> /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl
...

and you should now be able to control macports apache2 from you preference
pane.
