That all depends on what your application does, so the answer ranges from no to maybe to yes. You will have to take a look at what your application does to decide whether it can affect data consistency in your tables. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.

Generally control of Apache is via the apachectl command line tool.  
The one associated
with the default install is located in:

/usr/sbin/apachectl

calling that with the 'stop' parameter will shut down the default  
apache server. To start
your apache install, run the apachectl that corresponds to its  
installation.

Of course doing this will only deal with what's running now, not with  
what may run at
startup.

If you are running your install, then you will want to disable Web  
Sharing, but
at the same time ensure that port 80 in your firewall is open. The  
other thing you
will want to do is copy /System/Library/StartUpItems/Apache to /
Library/StartUpItems
and then modify the scripts as necessary.

That all depends on what your application does, so the answer ranges  
from no to maybe
to yes. You will have to take a look at what your application does to  
decide whether
it can affect data consistency in your tables.
