DvP Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hi Guys, I just tried iWeb and created my own little website but i cant reach it with my ip now. Websharing is enabled but when i click the IP links there i always reach the apache and the personal website testpage. What am i doing wrong? I placed the Site in the Sites folder and the index html is in no subfolder. Maybe the question is really stupid but i just dont get it right.

MilesR Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I had a few issues getting Apache to work correctly on my machine as well. Couple that with getting MySQL to work was a right nightmare, but I've finally got mine sorted. A lot of the issues were to do with permissions on the directories. So that's a good place to start. Also, I ended up editing the httpd.conf file to ensure that it was pointing to the "Sites" area of my user rather than having an additional conf file for my user. This seemed a better approach for me. I can't recommend any specific sites for advice on this, but Googling seemed to help me.

dajon226 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Apple did it to us.... again.... Personal Webpages don't work anylonger??? Read this... It turns out they upgraded/replaced apache, its no longer in /etc/httpd instead its in /etc/apache2 First turn off web server in System Preferences -> Sharing -> Web Sharing Here's the fix: To fix the problem, go to the directory: /private/etc/apache2/users Create a file called <user>.conf, where <user> is your short user name. The file should contain the following: # # Allow access to Bill's Sites directory for web clients. # <Directory "/Users/bill/Sites/"> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Restart web-server in System Preferences -> Sharing -> Web Sharing OK this got personal web-pages working. Because I have a DHCP IP provider I had to rewrite several scripts I keep in /usr/local/etc & /usr/local/scripts they now need to reconfigure httpd.conf as found in /etc/apache2 to set ServerName in httpd.conf for my Oracle connection. Hope this helps.
