Help! I need to get web sharing up and running!

I am working on a web project and just downloaded MAMP only to find that the Apache Server is not running on my laptop running OSX 10.7.5. My understanding is that all I need to do is to turn on Web Sharing but for some reason it refuses to start up... I did some searching around on the web to see what i should do and then Ran Console to see what messages the system was throwing up when I started up web sharing... here is what I got...
10/8/13 11:53:16.724 AM org.apache.httpd: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.1.254 for ServerName
When I open a browser and put in 192.168.1.254, I get the configuration page for the AT&T gateway! why would apache use the ip for the gateway?
Can anyone look at this and tell me what I need to do to get Apache started? This is for a very important project that I need to start for a client and I did not expect Apache not to work on my machine.. Please note that I am not too familiar with command line interface so if I need to go into terminal it would be helpful to have step by step instructions... Any help would be greatly appreciated, even pointers to references that might help...
Many thanks!
David

Not sure about MAMP but have a look at Setting up a local web server on Lion and Mountain Lion  for how to get apache running.

    If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc.  you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder. 
    You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it. 
    You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library. 
    If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod.  I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.

  • Help! Need to get rid of MacKeeper and Spinning Wheel!

    Hello Apple Community,
    I have a problem that has been solved by one member of the community, however, I am still having the same problem.  I thought I knew my mac pretty well however, I was one of those stupid people who installed MacKeeper in hopes of cleaning up my macbook pro and get the spinning "wheel of death" to STOP!
    I have read the posts and the comments from previous threads.  One in particular was posted by "uvistr" requesting help with the same problem I am having.  The community member, "etresoft", provided a great solution.  However, I tried to follow the directions to re-install mackeeper and then un-install, but I could not find any information in my logs with anything related to mackeeper. When I went to the mackeeper site, the only way I could re-load it was to buy it again!  I feel like I am going in circles!
    I thought I had deleted, dumped, trashed MacKeeper, but I still have the white screen on my desktop that says "unistall mackeeper". Only the GREEN light is available to use and of course I only just get a bigger screen!  Nothing is on the screen and there are no options in the finder (that I have found) to delete this white screen.
    I do know that I didn't un-install it correctly based on the information from "etresoft".  I am at the point of getting rid of everything on my macbook and then re-install everything.  I have everything backed up on an external hard drive. 
    Once I get MacKeeper off of my machine, will the spinning wheel stop?  OR does anyone think there is another problem that is causing it to constantly spin?  I have checked with Comcast and am running at their top speed.  I have the latest upgrade of OSX Lion and have deleted all pictures and movies from my hard drive.  Any thoughts?
    Thanks for any help that can be provided.....

    No, you do not need MacKeeper.  Removing MacKeeper will help.

  • Web Sharing Start and Stop routines...

    Does any one know where to find the actual start and stop methods that get executed when you turn on/off Personal Web Sharing in System Preferences. A long while back I found where those were to do some custom event upon web sharing start-up/shut-down, and now I can't remember where those are located.

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6792272&#6792272
    answered my question, which helped me to find an error:
    sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl start
    Syntax error on line 241 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
    Cannot load /usr/libexec/httpd/modhfsapple.so into server: (reason unknown)
    /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
    it appears that this Apache module: modhfsapple.so file is missing. (It was in the locate database, but the file is now gone) I recently had some disk errors and restored from a backup drive, but maybe the backup itself had been missing some of the same files. Bummer.
    Now I am wondering if I have to reinstall 10.4 from the DVD or if I can somehow repair/reinstall just the Apache modules to get Personal Web Sharing up and running again?
    It's probably safer to reinstall the whole OS, since I don't really know what other bits and pieces might be missing. I have one Intel Mac and one PPC Mac, so I don't think I could safely pilfer the missing shared object module from one to the other.

  • How can I get Web Sharing to work?

    I am having trouble getting web sharing to work - the name for the folder is a NetBIOS name which I can't change - and that is the first part of the problem. Is this a known issue because I have tried it on several computers and it does not work like previous versions.

    Perhaps a little more detail?
    What error message do you see when you try and access your pages?
    You also might need to install a newer version of PHP - one that is compatible with Apache2 (as Leopard uses Apache 2 instead of the Apache 1.3 Tiger used).
    There are also a number of settings that the upgrade process does not migrate over.

  • Can't get Web Sharing to Work

    I can't seem to get Web Sharing to work internally or externally with the AE. ON the G5 with MacOS 10.5.6, I have Web Sharing turned on under Sharing, Security > Firewall allows all incoming, Network configured as DHCP with IP 10.1.4.
    On the AE, under Internet > Internet Connection I have Using DHCP, Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address. Under DHCP I have a DHCP reservation for my G5 10 10.1.4. Under NAT, I have enable default host at 10.1.4. I currently have NAT Port Mapping Protocol on and have Web Sharing configured (though I have tried with it off).
    Under System Preferences > Sharing and Web Sharing selected, when I select my computer's website I get Safari can't connect to server. Same when I try to access a web page hosted here via dyndns.
    So, there must be something I'm doing to cause this but I sure can't figure it out.
    Any ideas?
    Ed

    Solved. Just did created /var/log/apache2 directory and a chmod 755 on the directory.
    Had to keep digging through discussions to find it.

    Sorry, but without a backup in iCloud or iTunes on your computer, your data is gone and can't be restored anymore.

    My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get.  I have and ipad and an iphone.  I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc.  Is there a way to do this? It was a vista pc and the new is win 7. I can grab the backup files, and music, but what about my apps? I do not want to sync on the new pc since the apps aren't there.  Were are the app files located in itunes? Can I just copy them to the new computer?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • Need to get a mibile computer and i am considering the macbook pro 15". Is that a good idea?

    Need to get a mibile computer and i am considering the macbook pro 15". Is that a good idea?

    The 15" is the ideal size, the 17" is a bit larger and more comfortable.
    The 13" is a bit cramped, the 11" forget it.
    The 11 and 13" have the poor Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics (solely) which are not good at 3D gaming/video and tend to overheat as the CPU is also doing the graphics.
    The 2.0 Ghz 15" MacBook Pro has a slightly better video card that does average on most current 3D games.
    The 2.2Ghz MacBook Pro (and higher) does excellently on 3D games with the powerful 1GB radeon 6750M and "future proofs" your computer investment for 3, 5, 7 years or longer.
    It all depends upon your portability and use needs.
    If your not a 3D gamer and can afford to replace your machine in shorter time periods and all you need is a basic laptop, then one of the smaller thinner machines will do. In fact even a Windows PC laptop can do. There really isn't any advantage of going for a Mac laptop at the lower end excpet for status symbol appeal. Your going to be paying $1500 for a laptop that a $800 PC will do just as well.
    However if your needing more of a portable workhorse machine the 2.2 Ghz MacBook Pro or better is ideal, it can run jsut about all the operating systems out there well, bootcamp into Windows and everythng with it's strong hardware and decent sized screen.
    Also the 15" and up have the optional ANTI-GLARE screens which is great for classes and at work where you can't control the enviroment to reduce reflections.
    If your on the go a lot, you can get a iPad in addition to the 15" MacBook Pro, if you need a larger screen you can buy that and use the MBP as a desktop machine sort of.
    The smaller Mac machines don't drive a larger monitor very well, really you need a dedicated graphics card.

  • Just got girlfriend a new iPad2. Her iMac is a PowerPC G5 (Tiger version 10.4.11) with 512 mb RAM. What's the simplest, most efficient way to get her iPad2 up and running and synced to her Mac?

    Just got girlfriend a new iPad2. Her iMac is a PowerPC G5 (Tiger version 10.4.11) with 512 mb RAM. What's the simplest, most efficient way to get her iPad2 up and running and synced to her Mac?

    Most of the Apple store sales people and some of the genius bar people are only knowledgable on Apple's more recent offerings. They are not very knowledgable, I found, on older PowerPC based Apple computers, I'm afraid.
    Here's the real scoop.
    Your girlfriend's G5 can only install up to OS X 10.5 Leopard. This is the last compatible OS X version for PowerPC users.
    OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and OS X10.7 Lion are for newer Intel CPU Apple computers.
    Early iMac G5's can only have up to 2 GBs of RAM.
    Later iMac G5's (2005-2006) could take up to 2.5 GBs of RAM
    2 GBs of RAM will run OS X 10.5 Leopard just fine.
    The very latest iTunes (10.5.2) can be installed and runs on both PowerPC and Intel CPU Macs.
    However, there are certain new iTunes feature that won't work without an Intel Mac.
    One of iOS and iTunes feature is sync'g wirelessly over WiFi.
    This will not work unless you have an iDevice running iOS 5 and Intel Mac running 10.6 Snow Leopard or better.
    Although, I was disappointed I would not be able to do this with my G4 Mac, it's not a biggie problem for me.
    So, your girlfriend's computer should be fine for what she intends to use it for.
    The Apple people either just plain didn't know or we're trying to get you to think about buying a new Mac.
    At least, as of now, not truly necessary.
    If Apple, at some later point, drops support for PowerPC users running 10.5, then would be the time to consider a new or "newer" Intel CPU Mac.
    My planned Mac computer upgrade is seeking out a " newer" last version G5 for my "new" Mac.
    I can't afford, right now, to replace all of my core PowerPC software with Intel versions, so I need to stick with the older PowerPC Macs for the time being. The last of the G5's is what I seek.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    problem with updated find my iPhone (FMi) app: when I attempt to open the FMi app, it tells me that I need to be a registered developer and run iOS7 to do so; is anyone else having this problem?  I got the app as a regular update to my existing FMi app which worked great.

    The problem is being reported in the news media, yes. Apparently someone at Apple jumped the gun and uploaded the update before it was ready. They'll probably issue another update shortly, I would expect, but you can go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. If you have a backup copy of the older version of the app, remove the newer version, restore the old version to iTunes on your computer, and resync.
    Update: Well, that was certainly quick. As of a short time ago, various sites are reporting that the Find My iPhone app is no longer displaying the previous error message. If it still is for you, delete it from your iPhone and re-download from the iTunes Store.
    Regards.
