Can't Start LiveCode Server Under Yosemite

[Gregory Lypny]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for responding. I tried starting Apache with Terminal, using both start and then restart. The command appears to have been accepted (see below) but when I type localhost into Safari, I still get the message “Safari Can’t Connect to the Server."

/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist: Operation already in progress
Gregorys-iMac-2:~ gregory$ 

Regards,

Gregory
