Disabling httpd plist blocked

[rachalmers]

I’m trying to disable the httpd plist startup, but it’s in System and it can’t be modified even as root. How do I disable this in this case?

httpd doesn't run by default, so if you haven't already enabled it you don't need to do anything.
If you have enabled Apache you can disable it with this command:

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

 

[rachalmers]

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

Sorry, but this no longer works. I get the message.

Usage: launchctl bootout <domain-target> [service-path1, service-path2, ...] | <service-target>

<service-target> takes a form of <domain-target>/<service-id>.

Please refer to `man launchctl` for explanation of the <domain-target> specifiers.

And I can’t change the Keep Alive key in the plist because the plist file can’t be edited.

Are you not using macOS 12, Monterey? You're posting in the Monterey forum so this should work.
