Router Mode, domain conflict in Local 5

I was getting “There is a port conflict with this sites domain”. It was driving me nuts.

  1. I deleted my old 3.x install
  2. Removed homebrew php and apache
  3. Restarted a bunch while trying everything I could think of.

It ended up being the default Mac server running and keeping Local from accessing the ports. Used the below command in terminal to stop the Mac web server:

sudo apachectl stop

It will prompt you for your admin password. I am not sure if this will be an issue with every restart, but at least it works. I will take this hassle for getting rid of Virtual Box. So far it runs really great and fast.

EDIT: so far that stayed consistent with restarts.
