1. install homebrew
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"2. install dependencies
brew install pcre
brew install libtool3. download apache 2.4.x version
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
4. extract it and then go into the directory
tar zxvf httpd-2.4.9.tar.bz2 && cd httpd-2.4.9
5. after that run the following to confgure:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache-2.4.9 LTFLAGS=--tag=cc
6. if you can’t complie because of llvm-gcc/gpp issue, install the GNU/gcc:
brew install gcc46
7. run the following command should work fine:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache-2.4.9 CC=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc46/4.6.4/bin/gcc-4.6 CPP=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc46/4.6.4/bin/cpp-4.6 LTFLAGS=--tag=CC8. after the configuration, build it:
make
8. and install it:
sudo make install
9. Then, we can create symbolic links:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/apache-2.4.9 /usr/local/apache sudo ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd /usr/sbin/httpd sudo ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl /usr/sbin/apachectl
10. start apache server:
sudo apachectl start
or
sudo httpd -k start
11. check apache version:
sudo httpd -v
output:
Server version: Apache/2.4.9 (Unix) Server built: Jun 11 2014 16:18:15
or
sudo apachectl status
output:

Open slot with no current process
12. if you get ‘Not found ‘ error as below:
Not Found The requested URL /server-status was not found on this server.
because the mod_status module is not configured, so add the following lines to httpd.conf:
<IfModule mod_status.c> # Allow server status reports generated by mod_status, # with the URL of http://servername/server-status # Change the ".example.com" to match your domain to enable. # <Location /server-status> SetHandler server-status Order deny,allow Allow from all </Location> </IfModule>
Finally restart the apache server, it should work properly!
