Macports Apache Slow to Start/Stop
- by moranjk
I am running OSX 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion) with Apache2 from MacPorts for local development, and just recently I noticed it is taking almost a minute to restart Apache. I wouldn't think anything of it except it normally would restart in less than a second. I had all but given up Googling when I noticed that if I turned off the WiFi (I haven't tried hardwire yet) Apache would restart just as it use to.
What would cause Apache to take longer to start when I am connected to the LAN?
What can be done to mitigate this issue?
