  • 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.

  • Web sharing is not starting

    Yesterday i reinstalled the os x bundle cause of isyn was not working properly now isync is working fine but web sharing is not starting. i checked on web sharing from system preferences when i closed the window and comeback again to sharing i see web sharing everytime unchecked i did also locked but still unchecked. if i go to localhost/mysite its say: "Safari can’t open the page “http://localhost/” because it could not connect to the server “localhost”. please tell what i am doing wrong.

    Thanks web sharing is working but if i type http://localhost/gmm/index.html it says"Not Found"
    The requested URL /gmm/index.html was not found on this server.
    but if i type http://localhost/index.html it shows apache page and says "This page is here because the site administrator has changed the configuration of this web server. Please contact the person responsible for maintaining this server with questions. The Apache Software Foundation, which wrote the web server software this site administrator is using, has nothing to do with maintaining this site and cannot help resolve configuration issues." but i can't see this page in the Sites folder. I didn't change any thing, don't know what to do.

  • Web sharing will not start OS X Lion

    Hi there,
    I am new to all this so I have probably made some simple errors and I hope someone can help me. I will retell what I have done as I haven't a clue what part of what I have done has mucked things up.
    I am really stuck. Web sharing will not start on my iMac running Lion OS X. It did work fine and then I wanted to activate PHP so my test website contact form would work (and send the data on the form throught to my email address.
    Before I did anything I turned on websharing and could view my website from another computer using: http://192.168.1.4/~stewartfergusson/
    I think followed the instructions on this link to activate PHP - http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/php_leopard.php
    I then did a few things in terminal and will paste below what I did:

    Stewart-Fergussons-iMac:etc stewartfergusson$
    An important point to note is that I now appear to have more than one http.config file and they are located in the following locations:
    1) Macintosh HD/etc/apache2/httpd.conf.default
    2) Macintosh HD/etc/apache2/httpd.conf.default.default
    3) Macintosh HD/etc/apache2/original/httpd.conf
    I edited this file (which one I have not got a clue) and also the php.ini file within Macintosh HD/etc/ using Terminal - the command I used was sudo cp php.ini.default php.ini
    This php.ini file now exists in two locations now as well:
    1) Macintosh HD/etc/php.ini
    2) Macintosh HD/etc/php.ini.default
    I then edited this file by changing the line of code below from:
    514 error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE (I think it said E_DEPRECATED actually) but I am lifting this from the web page in the link above)
    To:
    514 error_reporting = E_ALL
    I then saved this file.
    I then deactivated web sharing in System Preferences and since then have not been able to restart Web Sharing. I click it and it flashes orange for a second then does not start.
    This was all done to activate PHP on my iMac so I can host my own site which has a PHP contact form page.
    Please help I am so out of my depth I am very worried I may have changed things and I am going to forget what I did.
    If you need to know anything then please ask.
    Thank you so much

  • Personal Web Sharing doesn't start up

    A while ago I shut off the "Personal Web Sharing" tool simply because I did not need it. However at this moment I'm trying to restart it (which I assume is the Apache web service). So I go to System Preferences -> Sharing, and tick the "Personal Web Sharing" box. However, when I do, all I get is the message "Web sharing is starting up..." It stalls there and doesn't go any further.
    I haven't made any changes to Apache, but I have attempted to install PHP on my system using the package on http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/ -- it failed, giving me a generic error message.
    Is there a solution to this problem? Does it have anything to do with the messed-up PHP installation?

    I am experiencing the same problem: going through the System Preferences (in OSX 10.4.10), to the Sharing pane, then the Services Tab, and clicking Start Personal Web Sharing only gives me "Starting Web Sharing..." and never actually starts it.
    I have tried the following solutions:
    • replaced httpd.conf files using both the httpd.conf.default file from the machine in error as well as from another Mac (adapting the usernames as appropriate)
    • replacing the entire /private/etc/httpd directory with the one from the other Mac, whose Web Server will start up
    • when starting it via Terminal, i get "fopen: no such file or directory" so I created it... no dice.
    Can anybody give me any more suggestions?
    If not, I do have AppleCare on it - think they might help?

  • Web-Sharing does not start up-

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my Web-Sharing. When I activate "Web-Sharing" in my Sharing-Preferences, the httpd (Apache webserver) doesn't start up (as can be seen in the activity monitor), thus I'm not able to connect to the webserver with Safari. I only have this issue on my iMac (10.5.2), it works perfectly on the PowerBook (10.5.2).
    Does anyone have a solution without reinstalling Leopard?
    Thanks a lot.
    Till

  • Personal Web Sharing won't start up

    I'm sorry if this is duplicated but I when I try to start up my web sharing, it goes grey, says starting but never gets anywhere.
    I was tring to install PHP and tried the 5.0 verison as I have the intel mac. I guess that was a big mistake.
    When I try to use terminal to launch apache I get the following message.
    AllisonServer:~ allisonserver$ apachectl start
    Processing config directory: /private/etc/httpd/users/*.conf
    Processing config file: /private/etc/httpd/users/+entropy-php.conf
    fopen: No such file or directory
    httpd: could not open document config file /private/etc/httpd/users/+entropy-php.conf
    /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
    In the console utility, when I go to /var/log and then into httpd the window is empty.
    In the console log I'm getting this message
    Processing config directory: /private/etc/httpd/users/*.conf
    Processing config file: /private/etc/httpd/users/+entropy-php.conf
    fopen: No such file or directory
    httpd: could not open document config file /private/etc/httpd/users/+entropy-php.conf
    /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
    Can anybody help me clear out the PHP5 if that's my problem.
    I would also like to know how to tell if i have apache 1.2 or 2.0?
    Thank you in advance

  • Personal Web Sharing won't start

    It will only say "starting" but nothing happens. Is there a known fix for this?
    Thanks

    Hi Eric!
    The only thing I can think is turn off your firewall first then turn on the sharing. Then go back and turn your firewall on again. Because if you want this feature enabled you must have this port open in your firewall. There's a chance this is what you're experiencing...
    Let us know...Reg

  • 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.

    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.

  • Turning on Web Sharing does not work and fails to load apache web server

    Sort of answering my own question here but hope it will be useful to other people and save them some time.
    After receiving my shiny new imac with os x lion pre-installed, I was a little dismayed and confused when I went to System Preferences -> Internet and Wireless -> Sharing and attempted to check the Web Sharing. Every time I clicked this option I was told Web Sharing was starting but would then repeatedly fail and apache failed to start.
    Looking in the Console I find:
    org.apache.httpd: dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib
    org.apache.httpd: Referenced from: /usr/sbin/httpd
    org.apache.httpd: Reason: image not found
    Entering in the console:
    vim /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/httpd_2011-08-06-165030_localhost.crash (date and time bit will vary)

    TO FIX THIS ISSUE:
    It appears /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib does not exist but /usr/lib/libpq.5.3.dylib does.
    Fix by creating a symbolic link from /usr/lib/libpq.5.3.dylib to /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib
    =
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpq.5.3.dylib /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib
    Going back to System Preferences -> Internet and Wireless -> Sharing clicking Web Sharing a couple of times turns Web Sharing on successfully!
    Going to http://localhost/ displays the "It Works!" page.
    HTH people as it took me a while to find the correct solution online from:
    http://www.azattis.com/2011/07/os-x-lion-postgresql-84-install-problem.html

    Hi there,
    You seemed to have had a similar problem to what I now have and so wondered if you might be able to help me :-)
    I have posted this as a new post as well but if anyone has five mins could they take a look - I would be very grateful. Here you go:
    I am new to all this so I have probably made some simple errors and I hope someone can help me. I will retell what I have done as I haven't a clue what part of what I have done has mucked things up.
    I am really stuck. Web sharing will not start on my iMac running Lion OS X. It did work fine and then I wanted to activate PHP so my test website contact form would work (and send the data on the form throught to my email address.
    Before I did anything I turned on websharing and could view my website from another computer using: http://192.168.1.4/~stewartfergusson/
    I think followed the instructions on this link to activate PHP -http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/php_leopard.php
    I then did a few things in terminal and will paste below what I did:

    An important point to note is that I now appear to have more than one http.config file and they are located in the following locations:
    1) Macintosh HD/etc/apache2/httpd.conf.default
    2) Macintosh HD/etc/apache2/httpd.conf.default.default
    3) Macintosh HD/etc/apache2/original/httpd.conf
    I edited this file (which one I have not got a clue) and also the php.ini file within Macintosh HD/etc/ using Terminal - the command I used was sudo cp php.ini.default php.ini
    This php.ini file now exists in two locations now as well:
    1) Macintosh HD/etc/php.ini
    2) Macintosh HD/etc/php.ini.default
    I then edited this file by changing the line of code below from:
    514 error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE (I think it said E_DEPRECATED actually) but I am lifting this from the web page in the link above)
    To:
    514 error_reporting = E_ALL
    I then saved this file.
    I then deactivated web sharing in System Preferences and since then have not been able to restart Web Sharing. I click it and it flashes orange for a second then does not start.
    This was all done to activate PHP on my iMac so I can host my own site which has a PHP contact form page.
    Please help I am so out of my depth I am very worried I may have changed things and I am going to forget what I did.
    If you need to know anything then please ask.
    Thank you so much

  • 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...

  • 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:
    Cannot load /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so into server: (reason unknown)
    /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
    [Process exited - exit code 3]
    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 server will not start.

    I cannot start Personal Web Sharing. Have tried to install apache2, mysql and php from here: http://www.serverlogistics.com/downloads.php and since then it would not start.
    What can I do? Is there anyway I can reverse to old settings from a sertain date like you can on a windows system?
    If I try to start Apache in Termianl I get this:
    vayu-robins-computer:~ vayu$ /usr/sbin/apachectl start

    I hope this will help.

    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.

  • Unable to start/stop Personal Web Sharing

    I do some web development, so I tried making the necessary changes to run PHP files via localhost. I followed various online articles by making some changes to the httpd.conf file, and then downloading MySQL and a later version of PHP (5.0). Since installing yesterday afternoon, I've been unable to start or stop Personal Web Sharing. Any ideas?
    Thank you.
    Nathan

    Are you sure you got the proper version of each for your platform? Depending on which version you dowloaded it may not have been a universal bianary and you might be running ppc instead of x86 or vice versa. I wouldnt expect you to have broken apache if you made only the modifications you noted in your inital post - but perhaps if it was trying to load the php module and it was the worng platform it might through that error and prevent it fromt starting.. but normally whn php fails it jsut throws a warning and continues without it loaded (at least with Marc's automatic configuration). But thats the only thing i can think of.
    So next steps:
    1.) Verify you are running the x86/PPC (or Universal) versions of PHP and MySQL (MySQL shouldnt really matter but since its one of the majorchanges before apache broke we'll look at it as well).
    2.) on the command line run this command and post the output back here:
