Can not access local web sites

Hi,
on my Mac Mini running Lion I cannot access any local web site
Normally, entering
http://localhost/~shortname/
would ad least show the index.html page located in the sites (Websites on German systems) folder, which I still can display w/o the webserver running by clicking on it)
However, I get the error message:
"you don't have permission to access /~shortname/ on this server"
This happens in Mountain Lion too, where I started the web server using the Web Sharing preference pane from
http://clickontyler.com/blog/2012/02/web-sharing-mountain-lion/
Any idea? I need this badly, because I am doing some little web dev
Thank you

Solved it, turned on FTP on Mountain Lion,
sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist

  • I bought my ipad mini in the UK and it worked fine, I live in Cyprus and since being back i can not access any web sites

    My web browser( Google ) home page appears but when i type in the web address it does not access them it just constantly appears to be loading.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    there are a lot of complaints here about wifi issues with the ipad mini - all seam to deal with 3rd party routers. you might want to check these Threads out.
    did you delete the wifi network on your ipad and reconnect? Are you using WPA2? Did you select TKIP/AES or only one of them? Does your ipad get an ip address?

  • Can only access one web site

    I can only access one web site . www.cisco.com. I am connected to the internet via a lynksys DSL Router, I am using dhcp and NAT from the Lynksys note:works fine for 3 other windows based pc's.
    when I try to connect to any other site the page Hangs during load and neve displays.
    I can ping all of the web sites that do not come up
    I am using a SunBlade 100 and did a new install. I tried the install with webstart and had the same result during the install. again I can only open sucessfully www.cisco.com.

    Hello!
    I am getting this error, but the above fix does not solve the issue, however I do know what has caused it.
    I have an edmx file in a WCF webservice which feeds a silverlight app.  The edmx is quite complex and a bit fragile, but was working fine up until I introduced our Industry Codes view into the model.  The view is basically { ID, ParentID, Name, ... }.  In my model I have created an association to itself which describes Children(*)/Parent(0/1) so I have a nice and tidy hierarchical structure.  The edmx and the service build without any errors - hurrah!  However, when I update the service reference I then get the below error (and a whole load of others as none of the webservice objects exist anymore):
    Error 21 Custom tool error: Failed to generate code for the service reference 'WCF_ContactAdmin'.  Please check other error and warning messages for details. X:\2008-054 ContactAdmin_Silverlight\Contact2_Admin_Silverlight\Service References\WCF_ContactAdmin\Reference.svcmap 1 1 Contact2_Admin_Silverlight
    When I try the fix mentioned in the link above this error disappears, but then so do all the objects in the datamodel, so I cannot continue from there.
    Having the hierarchical data objects defined in the EDM will make like so much easier in future, any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you!!

  • Can't access some web sites with safari

    Can't access financial web site since time before last of safari update. Any help?

    In my original post, not today's, I had said I was having the issues on the Mini, running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari v.5.1.5 for my bank's pill pay. I should have been more specific as to which machine and OSX Safari browser I'm having the T-Mobile problem with. My mistake.
    It is on both the MacMini and now the Air too. A moment ago, I was able to log in to my.t-mobile.com on the Air, but after putting into my Bookmarks folder, I can't do it anymore. The Log in button comes up greyed out instead of green.
    I'm also still having trouble with my bank's bill pay section on both computers too.
    I wonder if it's related to the saving of the log in info or putting in the Bookmark Folder?

    If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
    Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
    Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
    If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
    reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
    If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.
    To fix this
    BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."

    Did it work in Firefox 4, or did you skip that version?

  • I can not load several web sites ???? Everything was running fine yesterday. I've tried using Firefox Safe Mode, IE , cleaned out all of my cache & temp. files with no success. Any more ideas ?

    I can not load several web sites. I used my computer at a friends house yesterday and connected via their wireless system. Back home today and realized the problem. Any ideas?

    Did you check the connection settings?

  • After 6 months can not access some web pages

    I can not get several web pages to work when I pull them up. Like Comcast, the main page comes up but not the current TV listings.

    Unfortunately this hasn't worked either. I did this several times, after deleting cache files and repairing permissions. Do you think the issue is something that the ISP could address?
    Another issue has appeared: I'm unable to login to a site that a friend has constructed; he assures me that when he uses the same login information on his mac there's no access problem. When I try, the login fields just reappear, without what I've entered.
    Any ideas are appreciated!

  • Safari update does not access some web sites

    I just did the latest Mac update, the Safari, Quicktime,Itunes update. And now Safari does not allow me to access my own Flash based web site. It says it's loaded 3 of 4 and then just stops, no error message, nothing, just a blank page.
    And worse I am not the only person having this problem, several other people on Macs, in different parts of the country,and using Safari also can not access my site. However Firefox has no problem on my computer or theirs. Worse still, I am traveling and will be away for several weeks more and it's the holidays which is a key time for my website as it is an important sales tool for my business. There haven't been any changes to the website itself for over a year. I guess I just won't be expecting any business from Mac users this Christmas........
    Also other websites seem to have loading issues as well.
    I used to look forward to Apple updates as they USED to improve the performance of my computer, however the last two updates caused severe problems to a computer that had been working perfectly.

    Hello,
    I'm afraid that site doesn't work either for me with Safari 3.0.4 on OS X 10.4.11.
    The page appears to load but only displays a blank page.
    The W3C (web standards consortium) validation tool shows a few errors with the site: [validation results|http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.kosoff.com&charset=%28detect+auto matically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0]

    Hi Mike
    That means your J2EE engine is not running...
    Restart the engine, also check that the DB is up and running.

  • Internet explore can not open some web site!!

    Internet explore cannot open some web site including yahoo game.
    whenever opening it, it says that i need to download java virtual machine
    and it leads me to Microsoft to download MS virtual machine
    but after intalling it, the problem does not disappear.
    Some people suggest that using opera, but it is not working, either!!
    What is the problem? Does anyone know the solution?
    Please reply me!!

    Hi,
    Internet explore cannot open some web site including yahoo game. whenever opening it, it says >that i need to download java virtual machine and it leads me to Microsoft to download MS virtual
    machine but after intalling it, the problem does not disappear.Explorer not opening some web sites indicated that you are not able to open those sites which
    do have applets in homepage,probabily you are able to download the applet but that cannot be
    executed due to lack of environment(JVM).Although the Explored does have the inbuilt JVM but
    I believe in the latest versions they are not providing.
    i hope yours is not that case.The other alternative can be explorer getting corrupt or change
    in the setting(which I believe you must not have changed)
    See if the application comes on different machines explorer.

  • Can't access the web-site in my home folder from the internet.  Need help.

    I am trying to publish a website from the Sites folder in my home directory. The website is made and I can access it from from every computer within my ethernet. But despite a couple attempts I made I can not get the website published on the internet.
    I have an Airport Express station. Two Macs and one PC are using the ethernet. As far as I can tell the Airport Express station is directly connected to the internet. I live in a brand new apartment which has Lan outlets in every room next to the electricity outlets. I have a single designated internet IP address.
    To open my computer to the internet I set the "Default Host Option" in the Airport Administrator Utility and selected the default three digits for the "Default Host option" IP address. Then I updated the Airport Express station, manually set the IP address in the Network preferences on my Mac to the "Default Host option" IP address and activated Personal Web Sharing in the Sharing preferences. By doing so I lost my internet connection. It turned out I still had the same IP address that I had before I selected Default Host Option.
    As I understand with the Default Host Option I designate one IP address within the ethernet to receive all traffic from outside. But how do you now tell the Airport Express station which computer on the ethernet will be the host for the incoming traffic carrying the Default Host Option IP address? Apparently just setting the IP address manually in the clients computer Network preferences to the "Default Host Option" IP address doesn't tell the Airport Express station to change the IP address it has assigned to this client to the Default Host Option IP address.
    In another attempt to make my website accessible on the internet I removed the Default Host Option and instead opened Public Port 80 and Private Port 80 for the IP address of the client computer in the Port Mapping tap of the Airport Administrator Utility. But again, no access to my website from the internet.
    To access the website from within the ethernet I use the following web-link, which works fine:
    http://192.xxx.x.x/~user/index.html
    The internet of course doesn't see the 193 IP address. It only sees the Public IP address. Therefore I used the Public address instead of the Private IP address to connect to my website from the internet:
    http://222.xxx.xxx.xxx/~user/index.html
    But as I said, I still can't access the website from the internet.
    I have the feeling that I conceptually don't understand something correctly. I would appreciate if somebody could help me with this problem.

    If you would rather not mess with the registry you can often work round with a shift key start.
    Hold down the shift key and start iTunes, keep holding down the shift key until you are asked to choose or create a library. If you already have one, navigate to your iTunes folder and choose iTunes Library.itl. Otherwise create a new library in My music.

  • How to enter a secure address in security so i can have access to web site

    I used to be able to enter an address from a secure website and be able to access when I had internet explorer and with firefox I dont know where to enter address so I can access the secured we site.

    Firefox doesn't have security zones like Internet Explorer. There's no Trusted Sites list to add sites to. Normally, web sites simply work, whether they're secure or not.
    If secure websites don't load, see the following article.
    * [[Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages]]
    If the website does load but you're having some other problem with it, see the following article.
    * [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]]
    If neither of those answer your question, please post a link to the site and or a description of what doesn't work, or whatever error message is displayed.
