Stop Apache and remove it from starting on login

$ sudo apachectl -k stop
$ sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

Install nginx

$ brew install nginx

Install php

$ brew install php php-fpm

Edit php-fpm config

/usr/local/etc/php/7.4/php-fpm.d/www.conf

This allows us to run multiple versions of php on different ports :)
