Error restarting apache on a Mac

I was trying to restart the Apache server running on my Mac and I kept getting an error: 

launchctl: CFURLWriteDataAndPropertiesToResource(/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist) failed: -10

After scratching my head for a while, I finally figured out this error was being caused because I was forgetting to run the commands as root. I was running: 

apachectl restart

while what I should have been running was: 

sudo apachectl restart

Once I added the sudo, the error went away and my server was able to restart.
