Stop a number of httpd processes starting on MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Lion?

I am running MAMP and noticed that a number of httpd processes 开发者_运维知识库were running in Activity Monitor.

I had 24 separate processes running at one time. The users were daemon, root and _www. I also have zend running php, lighttpd and mysqld even though I uninstalled

Does anyone know how to stop some of these processes starting up in the first place?

I found that you can turn off or stop services from starting up every time your machine starts by looking in the following folders:

• /Library/LaunchAgents
• /Library/LaunchDaemons
• /Library/StartupItems

That sorted everything out.
