Personal Web sharing not installed HOW - do I install?

Hi - I have had an extremely frustrating 4 hours or so between trying to google a solution to the problem and examining the contents of the installation disk with pacifist - I am still none the wiser.
I have not tried to set up a localhost server on my Intel Mac running 10.4.9 I have had since september and it should be as easy as pie to do so from what I have read.... but not in my case!
I went to apple > system preferences > sharing and tried to check personal web sharing as suggested in many places but get this for my trouble
'Web Sharing is not installed on this computer. To install Web Sharing, use the Mac OS X installer.'
My question is how do I do so without dausing a reformat and still not getting the option?
I have used pacifist to try and locate either PWS or apache installers inon the disc but sinply am at a loss to find either. Hope someone can help
Thanks in advance

NOt that I am aware of - I may have tried to do something like launch the apache index page from httpd or similar in the first couple of days of owning the machine but unless by some sure accident I have not altered any settings.... ( I never got into admin settings or any of that from what I remember)
I'm not even looking for PHP or mySQL now - Just a running WS so that I can test CSS in it.
Even so - I still have absolutely no idea where the pws taller is located on the installation disk that I am referred to so therefore am not willing to unstall it for reasons mentioned. I most certainly do not want a reinstall for the sake of a little but in my case neccessary application
Good point Gnarlodious - like to hear what angle you are coming from on this (particularly if you can help me get this sorted out from the disk as Apple suggest. Much as I love my conversion to apple I have to say the documentation and overall support from the site is appalling (I thought Microsoft was bad......). Instructions such as that encountered on the PWS toggle are vague to say the very least
Thanks for the reply

  • Personal Web Sharing Hangs on Startup - Apache never installed?

    Hello.
    When clicking start in the Sharing System Pref for Personal Web Sharing nothing happens.
    The checkbox dims and it forever says "Web Sharing starting up..."
    I went to console to look at console.log and saw this each time I attempted to start up Web Sharing:
    httpd: could not open document config file /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache/apache.conf
    /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
    The interesting thing is, I have no directory /System/Library/WebObjects/
    Is it possible that I never installed apache when I installed Tiger?

    Hi--
    I haven't changed this file at all. I do use fink and
    have installed many packages. Perhaps it messed
    around with this file (although that seems unlikely)?
    Look in your regular Apache config file. Look for an "Include" line for that file there:
    <pre class="command">grep WebObjects /etc/httpd/httpd.conf</pre>If it's there, just edit that file to add a "#" to the beginning of that line:
    <pre class="command">#Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache/apche.conf</pre>My guess is that something installed by Fink added that line: it's not in the default.

  • Personal web sharing not turning on

    hi all
    my personal web sharing in system preferences / Sharing will no longer turn on.
    I checked it in Terminal and get the following message:
    Barry-Kimmelmans-Computer:~ barrykimmelman$ httpd -t {enter}
    Syntax error on line 247 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
    Invalid command '?ClearModuleList', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

    /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
    Barry-Kimmelmans-Computer:~ barrykimmelman$
    so, the problem seems to lie within the httpd.conf file although I have no clue what that is or even where it is on my system. I did a "find" search for that file name but nothing showed up.
    Even if I found the file I'd have no idea how to fix it.
    Any suggestions??
    Thanks for any help you could offer me.
    Barry
    PS: any ideas that anyone could suggest I better mention up front that I would need in "explanation for dummies" format as I am clueless in the networking, server, Apache etc aspects of the system

  • Personal Web sharing not starting

    I've been trying to start personal web sharing and it's not starting up...I already did the apachectl start command in the terminal and I got the following message:
    Syntax error on line 8 of /private/etc/httpd/users/+entropy-php.conf:

    I had problems installing php before that happened...and it seems that I can't still the latest version of php since I tried installing it many times and all came out with errors. What can I do in order to make web sharng start? Thanks in advance
    Never mind guys...sorry but I think I found the answer, I searched the forum before but I couldn't find it...sorry about that...be safe

    Cosizzle, not sure this will help either, but try trashing...
    /Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences... the whole Prefs folder there.
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration... the whole SysConfig folder.
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist
    Reboot... of course you dont have to trash them, you can just move them to the desktop to drag back if it doesn't work.

  • Personal web sharing not working anymore. localhost

    I've had my personal web sharing working fine for some time now. I've been using it to develop PHP sites and such locally. I recently added a local version of wordpress and just now restarted the server by opening my sys prefs and going into sharing and clicking "web sharing" off and then back on in order to restart it. After doing that I can't access my localhost sites. I get this message "Safari can’t connect to the server." when clicking on either of the two links displayed in web sharing pref.
    Any thoughts on what is going wrong here?

    anyone?

  • Personal Web Sharing not starting in 10.4.7

    Okay, I've been reading through here trying to fix my problem with PWS, but my symtoms don't match anyone elses. I haven't tried installing PHP 5 (though I want to) and I haven't tried upgrading to Apache 2 (though I don't know if OS X 10.4.6 - 4.7 includes Apache 1 or 2).
    My problem starts off the same as everyone elses. I go to System Preferances, Sharing, Select PWS, select Start and it just sits there and does nothing.
    I've gone into my console and cleared it out completely, then tried starting PWS and in my console.log I got:

    Either through Terminal or GUI? I'm still new to the Unix Terminal and OS X, so someone may have to take me through things step-by-step.
    I really would like to avoid having to back up my data to another drive or DVD and formatting the hard drive and starting all over.

  • Personal Web Sharing Works on One Mac, Not on Other

    I can't get Personal Web Sharing to work with my MacBook Pro. It does work with my iMac. Yes, I can turn it on just fine on the MacBook, by means of System Preferences->Sharing, but I can't successfully use the Personal Web http:// link I see there as a URL in my iMac's browser. When I try, it tells me it can't connect to the host, i.e., the MacBook. When I do the same in reverse, from my MacBook browser with my iMac as target (though the local IP address and the short-user-name are of course different), the connection works fine. 
    I don't think I'm using an incorrect local IP address to try to get to my MacBook. I've checked that. And I do have an index.html file in the appropriate Sites folder on each machine. 
    I'm using Mac OS Leopard 10.5.8 on both machines.
    The problem also shows up on Safari on my iPhone. It can access Personal Web Sharing on the iMac but it can't on the MacBook.  
    I wonder if it's a Bonjour problem? I don't exactly know if Bonjour is running on the MacBook, or how to tell if it is, or how to activate it if it isn't running.
    Or, if it's not Bonjour, what could it be?

    Doug,
    'sudo apachectl start' asked for my password and seemed to have no complaints after getting it. But it didn't tell me anything, and it didn't make a difference.
    After checking out some FAQs at
    http://httpd.apache.org/
    I tried 'apachectl -k start' and got:
    (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
    (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
    no listening sockets available, shutting down
    Unable to open logs
    It made no difference whether Personal Web Sharing was on or off in System Preferences when I did that.
    I do know that the Apache log file is apparently not there where apachectl expects it. I don't understand the other stuff it said, but it looks like maybe it was trying to use an IP address of 0.0.0.0 instead of 10.0.1.16.
    10.0.1.16 is the local IP address of my MacBook.
    I tried 'apachectl configtest' and got 'Syntax OK'.
    I tried moving index.html to /Library/WebServer/Documents -- no help.
    I tried creating a new configuration file in the way you said to try -- no help.
    No matter what I try, I get:
    Unable to connect
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 10.0.1.16.
    I'm beginning to wonder if the Apache environment might not need to be reinstalled. But I'm not sure how. I'm running Leopard 10.5.8, but the original install disk I have is 10.5.1. Software Update moved me up from that to 10.5.8 over time. Your further thoughts and advice will be greatly appreciated ...

    If you're just trying to get the default install to work again, we'll need to determine if the ServerLogistics install you said you tried has overwritten the system files, or set itself up separately.
    To see what version is installed in the default location, from the Terminal run:
    /usr/sbin/httpd -v
    This will report something like:
    Server version: Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin)
    Second, you can test your config files to see if they are all valid by running:
    /sbin/apachectl configtest
    This is what Apache does when it starts up, but without changing the process status. You'll be looking for a "Syntax OK" at the end of the output, or else specific error messages in your config files.
    Finally, you can check whether you have an Apache process already running a few different ways. One is to look in the /var/run directory for a 'httpd.pid' file, which will contain the process ID of any running Apache process. The other is to search the active process list:
    ps -ax | grep httpd
    If you see any matches other than your own 'grep httpd' command in the list, you may already have an Apache running and thus be unable to get another one to start via the Personal Web Sharing control panel.
    Again, the remedy would be clearer with some input from the ServerLogistics install documentation - what files were put where, how do they interact (if at all) with Apple's versions, etc.

  • PERSONAL WEB SHARING ON iMAC G5 WILL NOT START

    hello:
    i am hoping someone would be able to help me on this issue. i attempted to start the Personal Web Sharing service on my computer (iMAC G5 with MAC OS 10.4) from System Preferences > Sharing. however, after i highlight Personal Web Sharing on the list of services and click the Start button, the message changes to "web sharing starting up..." and simply remains that way (i've waited for a long time). it does not change to "web sharing on".
    am i doing something wrong? is it possible that my Apache installation has been compromised? my goal is to be able to use my computer to create and run .php web pages.
    any help / suggestions are greatly appreciated
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Sorry, this still doesn't seem to be working.
    Actually, it's me steering you wrong. It's been a while since I fooled around with the Entropy PHP installation and it looks like he's changed it.
    He used to put the configuration stuff for PHP at the bottom of the main Apache config file, but now he's putting it in that separate file in the httpd users directory. That's why moving the default Apache configuration file into place didn't help.
    You have two choices: one is to just forget about the PHP5 stuff for now and go with Apple's default PHP install. The other is to try to get PHP5 up and running.
    The first option is very easy: just run this command:
    <pre class="command">mv private/etc/httpd/users/+entropy-php.conf ~/Desktop</pre>That will put the offending file on the desktop. Now try starting the web server. Most likely, PHP won't work yet, but Apache should start. In order to use the default PHP5, you need to make some changes to the httpd.conf file. You can use pico in the Terminal. It's pretty simple and the key commands are printed at the bottom. Where you see the up arrow listed, that means to use the "control" key, i.e., "control"-x to exit. You need to use sudo, though so you have root privileges:
    <pre class="command">sudo pico /etc/httpd/httpd.conf</pre>Search ("control"-w) for "php". The first line you'll see is this:
    <pre class="command">#LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so</pre>Uncomment it by removing the "#" from the start of the line. Search again until you find this line:
    <pre>#AddModule mod_php4.c</pre>Again, remove the "#". Now search again until you find these lines:
    <pre class="command"><IfModule mod_php4.c>
    # If php is turned on, we repsect .php and .phps files.
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    # Since most users will want index.php to work we
    # also automatically enable index.php
    <IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
    </IfModule>
    </IfModule></pre>Just verify that they look like these. If they don't, copy and paste your corresponding lines into a reply. Now stop and restart the web server and see if PHP pages will work. You should be using OS X's built-in 4.x version.
    If, on the other hand, you'd rather use the Entropy PHP5 installation, post back and tell me and we'll see if we can figure out what's up with that...

  • Please tell me how to reinstall Personal Web Sharing

    I did something to my Personal Web Sharing. I thought maybe it was the file permissions but they seem to be right. Owner is "myusername" and group is also "myusername". In any case Personal Web sharing will NOT turn on. Do I have to reinstall the OS X? This will be a pain since I have to start from the install cd's and work my way up to tiger. Seems like there should be an easier way, like can someone just give me a copy of the folder? Would that be the same for a g5. I am on tiger.
    thanks,

    I don't know which log you want but I looked in the filemaker server log. I wouldn't think the filemaker server has anything to do with why the personal file sharing can't be turned on? This was earlier today anyway.
    Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 (Build 8S165)

    This was the FM SErver Advanced re- install. I keep trying to configure it and it sticks. This is where I notice the Personal WEb sharing doesn't work.

    I reinstalled it so it should have wiped out the other settings. I also uninstalled FM Server Advanced. If it is uninstalled theoretically Personal WEb SErving should be okay. I don't think Personal WEb sharing was affected by the Fm SErver install. it has separate php config files.

  • Web Sharing Not Starting Up After installing PHP

    On Mac OS 10.4.9 on a G4 PPowerbook, using O'Reilly's "Learning PHP and MySQL," my Personal Web Sharing will not start up.
    I enabled Apache per their instructions and things seemed fine.. Then I i installed PHP with these commands, sudo vi/etc/httpd/httpd.conf , then %s/#LoadModule php/LoadModule php/. Then %x/#AddModule php/AddModule php/. Then <espcape>:wq. Then
    vi ~/Sites/test.php
    o
    <?php phpinfo() ?>
    <escape>:wq
    First of all, the test query from the book didn't work quite right, but now my Personal Web Sharing won't start up. It says "starting up." forever.
    Help. And if you can't tell, I have extremely limited knowledge of Unix and command lines, etc.
    What do I do? Assume I know nothing... : )

    The first thing to do is read the Apache error log which will give you more detail about what's gone wrong.
    <pre class=command>tail /var/log/httpd/error_log</pre>
    The other thing to do is run configtest which might also indicate errors in the configuration:
    <pre class=command>sudo apachectl configtest</pre>
    although it'll probably tell you the same thing as the error log.

  • Personal web sharing will not start up

    my personal web sharing will not start up.
    i tried to start it up at work on my laptop and i got a message that said anther computer on the network was using the same name. since then the personal web sharing can be clicked on but, never starts up.
    anyone have any ideas how i can fix this? i am trying to learn PHP and i need to have it working so i can sync up with apache.

    Try changing your computer's name. To do so go to the Sharing preference pane and change the computer's name to something else. Try restarting web sharing after this...

    The solution to your problem is most likely contained within your question.
    You'll need to locate the machine on your network that has the same name as yours and change its name... or you'll need to rename your computer to something else.

  • Pixelpost and Personal Web Sharing in Tiger

    Dear Friends:
    I figured out how to install Pixelpost (for a photoblog) in my OS X Tiger system -- by using MAMP. I changed the Document Root in MAMP so that now it looks to the Personal Web Sharing folder in the Mac (the Sites folder in the /usr/ space). The installation of Pixelpost works fine, letting me add images, manage it, etc. However, when I type in the computer address ("personal website") as provided in the Sharing tab under system preferences, it does not bring me at all to the photoblog. For instance:
    http://my.computer.address/ (just brings me to the regular Apache Server notice that it is running)
    if I type this:
    http://my.computer.address/~username/
    It brings me to the generic OS X page in place. But when I type:
    http://my.computer.address/~username/pixelpost/
    it opens to the pixelpost directory which I placed in the Sites folder. What I'd like to do is figure out what address will call up this blog so that others can access it.
    The blog comes up fine under this URL:
    http://localhost:8888/pixelpost/
    But that's not a proper address for external viewing. So, what address should I provide others? I've tried various configurations with the address provided in the Sharing tab of System Preferences, but no luck so far.
    Thanks!

    I changed the Document Root in MAMP so that now it looks to the Personal Web Sharing folder in the Mac (the Sites folder in the /usr/ space
    I think you mean /Users/ space. /usr is something completely different.
    http://my.computer.address/ (just brings me to the regular Apache Server notice that it is running)
    Then it means you didn't change the DocumentRoot like you think you did. If you did, and assuming you restarted Apache after changing the DocumentRoot, then this URL would point to whatever directory you specified (/Users/whoever/Sites) and not /Library/WebServer/Documents.
    But [http://localhost:8888/pixelpost> is not a proper address for external viewing.
    but it can be. If all you're using this for is PixelPost then just setup the port forwarding on your router to forward to port 8888 rather than port 80 and you're done.
    Now, that said, the fact that you're using two different ports here (port 80 and port 8888) means that, at the very least, you are running two virtual hosts, or quite possibly two completely separate Apache instances.
    That could explain why changing the DocumentRoot doesn't help. You may have changed either the PixelPost VirtualHost configuration, or the MAMP-specific server configuration, but that's not the server/virtualhost you're talking to on port 80.
    I've never used MAMP, so I don't know how it installs, but it wouldn't surprise me to find that it installs a whole new Apache distribution and you'd need to find that server and its configuration files to fix the DocumentRoot problem, if that's the way you want to go.
    You can also fix it via a simple Alias in the standard Apache configuration - just alias /pixelpost to /Users/whoever/sites/pixelpost - that way users who hit /pixelpost on your server will get the User-specific directory, while all other URLs continue to be served via /Library/WebServer/Documents. This might improve security and avoid the possibility of leaking other content from your home directory that you don't want to make available.
