How to completely uninstall Homebrew Apache httpd24? : <p>On macOS Sierra, I installed Apache using Homebrew:</p>

<p><code>$ brew install httpd24</code></p>

<p>This has caused some weird Apache issues. It seems that the default installation of Apache on macOS Sierra was still active in some way. I now want to completely uninstall httpd24 but am still seeing it in my processes. Here's what I did:</p>

<p><code>$ brew unlink httpd24</code>
<code>$ brew uninstall httpd24</code>
<code>$ rm -rf /usr/local/etc/apache2/</code></p>

<p>Running <code>$ ps aux|grep httpd</code> reveals:</p>

<p>The processes with the path <code>/usr/sbin/httpd</code> are the default Apache installation. The ones with the path <code>/usr/local/Cellar/httpd24/2.4.23_2/bin/httpd</code> is the Homebrew installation. This shouldn't even be possible. The directory <code>/usr/local/Cellar/httpd24</code> <em>doesn't even exist</em>. I have tried manually killing those processes but they eventually come back. I have tried restarting my computer. I have restarted Apache countless times. I have confirmed that the Apache I am interacting with on the command line using <code>$ apachectl</code> is the default installation. I don't know what else to do. Thank you for any help.</p>
