Snow Leoaprd and httpd

[Andre-John Mas]

Hi Mike,

This didn't work for me. I ended up removing the httpd entry and then  
restarting apache. This time it asked for permission and it is  
holding. I am just worried that it will forget this next time I  
restart. It just feels a little to flakey for my liking.
