I'm trying to run a PHP application in my intranet using Apache on OS X 10.10. I can successfully launch Apache using:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist
The PHP app works correctly and can be accessed from other machines. However, apache is being shit down after a few minutes with no helpful error messages in the /var/log/apache2/error_log

My org.apache.httpd.plist is as follws:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

There is no php_error log in /var/log/apache2 .
Related to this problem might be this issue I have where Apache is shutdown after 2 seconds on reboot: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34571520/apache-wont-start-on-boot-on-os-x-10-10
