The included Apache/MySQL/PHP in OS X is not easy (or ideal) from the setting-up perspective. Once you have your MAMP (or similar package) installed you shouldn't need :3306 or :9000. MAMP installs in your application folder (IIRC) so doesn't affect any systems settings:

I looked at that program after the fact, even used to install on my PC at work but I am less familar with some root level file structures so have not tried on PC yet. Anyway I have it running on my mac locally and remotely. I have a local file that runs via the router assigned ip for my iMac and I have another copy of zen cart that is running via my dynDNS service over my broadband connection. I also found a program that can set virtual servers but not sure I needed it. Once I got things set with my dynDNS it all is working now.

Thanks for advice however!
