Starting Apache from boot?

How can you get Apache to load at boot (even without login would be useful)?

I have to manually start it through 'System Prefs -> Sharing' after login.

I have also installed MySQL, where does it live on the computer? I cannot find it anywhere.
 
If you checked Personal Web Sharing in Sys Prefs, Apache should start automatically, even without login.

You can setup MySQL to autostart by editing /etc/hostconfig and placing this inside, if it doesn't exist:

Code: 
MYSQLCOM=-YES-

If it does exist and says NO, then change it to YES. You'll need to use sudo to edit /etc/hostconfig.

Also, MySQL lives under /usr/local/mysql.
 
How do I view '/etc ' directories?

Finder has hidden them.


Personal Web Sharing on every login disables.

Strange... I don't think it should. 🙁 Mine seems to be persistent. Do you have anything in any of the sites folders?

And you can view the folder /etc with terminal. 🙂

ls -la /private/etc
