Local for macOS Wordpress

[ladybug]

Hello, so I am about to install Local for Wordpress on my macOS you know this Local so it installs Apache as well as the other stuff. However I have Apache preinstalled. So will that be a problem? If I have it preinstalled but it installs it again. Can I customize the install so it doesn't install apache or do I have to uninstall the built in if possible? Or I don't have to worry about that and it's not a problem? macOS Monterey.

This is cool, I was looking for something like this the other day. Thank you.

 

To answer your question, it's like going to install a contained instance of a Webserver to run WP. 

But I can't see any documentation that would suggest either way.

 

You could try running this in a VM on either a Windows or Linux instance to see what happens. 

Otherwise, just backup your Apache instance and run the installer to see what happens.

 

Sorry I can help much beyond that.
