I have 2 versions of Apache running on my system

There is another version of apache running on my system. When in run sudo apachectl stop I still get the "It Works" page

So I found the location of the other version that is still running and it looks to be an older version which probably came pre-installed and is located in /opt/local/apache2/.

I tested this file /opt/local/apache2/htdocs/index.html.sample by just changing the text and then checked the browser again.

Server: Apache/2.2.29 (Unix) 

I want to remove that one and keep the latest version which is located in private/etc/apache2

Server version: Apache/2.4.9 (Unix)

How can I do this safely.

I managed to fix this

I ran ps aux | grep apache to see the apache processes

I then ran sudo apachectl stop

Then sudo killall -9 httpd to kill all apache processes

Then sudo apachectl restart

I went to the browser and typed localhost~/username/sitename

Bingo it works again, my system is using the correct version of apache again!
