Mac OS X has an install of apache by default, the control script for that
is:

	/usr/sbin/apachectl

if your installing MAMP (or a custom setup) you'll want to deactivate the default
installation ... go to System Preferences > Sharing then turn off "Web Sharing"

if you want to deinstall MAMP there should be a deinstaller program in /Application/MAMP,
once you've run that you can just delete that whole directory. then you can try to install
again by mounting the MAMP .dmg file and running the installer.

this is a permissions thing - you need to run the command using sudo (as explained in
another post)
