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?

Apache personal web server not working anymore

Originally, when I typed in either 127.0.0.1 or localhost, I got the Apache test page. Now I get in Safari: Safari can’t open the page “http://localhost/” because it could not connect to the server “localhost”.
I have modified the following files (to allow virtual hosting too)
FILE: /etc/apach2/users/me.conf
<Directory "/Users/me/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
NameVirtualHost *:80
<virtualhost *:80>
DocumentRoot /Users/me/Sites/kedmaumd.dev
ServerName kedmaumd.dev
</virtualhost>
<virtualhost *:80>
DocumentRoot /Users/me/Sites/jobmanager.dev
ServerName jobmanager.dev
</virtualhost>
FILE: /etc/hosts
I added:
#Local sites
127.0.0.1 kedmaumd.dev
127.0.0.1 jobmanager.dev
FILE: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Uncommented: LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
Those were the only changes I made, and now I cannot even access the main localhos page.
The permissions for my Sites folder are:
Me : Read & Write
staff: Read Only
Everyone : Read Only
(I had thought to add the www group, but when I clicked the plus icon, I got a window asking me to create a new shared user, so I left that alone)

I simply replaced the contents of the old httpd.conf in the backup directory and just added the LoadModule for php and it worked. Hopefully I wont run into any snags.

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 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 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
Barry-Kimmelmans-Computer:~ barrykimmelman$ sudo apachectl start

/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

I tried gnardious's method and Anthony's and still nothing.

Personal Web Sharing wont work!

Im trying to get personal websharing working.

Web sharing not working in 10.5.7?

Hi,
I am attempting to use Web sharing to test websites in local, but it doesn't seem to work; whenever I connect to the MacBook using http://localhost, it fails, saying server cannot be found. Same goes when I connect using the iPod Touch, typing the MacBook's IP adress, 192.168.4.119. No result either when using Windows or Ubuntu; server cannot be reached.
I already tried creating another admin user, to no avail. Also used Disk Utility to repair permissions errors. Also rebooted the router, no effect.
Using an externally-installed OS 10.5.7 works, though, as well as Distant session, Screen sharing and Fiel sharing.
Console is full of error messages such as:

This MacBook was formatted yesterday, restored from TM backup, updates were applied, before starting to use it.
I have a Time Machine dating from before this restore, but only started using Web sharing today.
What operation should I do to solve this?
BTW, I verified the config file using this command:
apachectl configtest
httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.4.119 for ServerName
Syntax OK

Just did it now. Both http://127.0.0.1:631/ and http://localhost:631/ gives out the CUPS server web interface. However, putting either http://127.0.0.1/ or http://localhost/ gives out the same error that server can't be found. Seems linked to Apache only.

Web sharing not working (Forbidden error)

http://localhost/~myusername doesnt work with web sharing turned on.
http://192.168.0.102/ (my local IP on the network) also fails to work.
It won't open locally or from other computers on the network.
I tried the apple fix here http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25038
Doesn't help.
The exact error I get is
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server.
Apache/2.2.20 (Unix) DAV/2 Server at 192.168.0.102 Port 80

No one can help?
I've tried everything I can think of/google.

Osx 10.5.7 Web Sharing not working

is there any way to force a reinstall of the apache web server to fix this problem?
thanks!

Nope. That's a new one on me. That's pretty bizarre. I'm struggling to think of any remotely plausible cause.... Is this hard drive bus-powered, by any chance? Is your Airport antenna loose? Are you right at the threshold of being able to get a good signal when the drive isn't connected? Did you take the case off of the drive and stick the bare mechanism right up against the Airport antenna?
This oddly reminds me of a story a friend of mine told about a mainframe that he was servicing (or maybe it was a friend of his, I forget the details). It kept crashing every night. He'd come out and service it and couldn't find anything wrong. Eventually, he stayed there overnight to see what happened, and saw a member of the cleaning staff plug in a vacuum cleaner (maybe unplugging some other piece of equipment at the same time, I forget), and bam, the machine crashed....
It's that kind of problem.... That's just really bizarre....

Internet sharing not working anymore

Hi all,
since I've installed Snow Leopard i can't anymore share my internet connection with other devices / computers. Everything worked perfectly on Leopard, but now when i turn on internet sharing via airport, other devices (macBook Pro and ipod touch / iphone) CAN connect to network but CAN'T connect to the internet. (document share not working to...)
Also if I create a simple airport network (no internet sharing) computers can't connect to each others and share documents.
Please help as everything was working greatly with Snow Leopard, but this is such a big problem that I would have to go back (great pain and job interruption) to leopard...
Tried deleting / recreating positions, and to cancel pref files but same problem....

I have a first gen iPhone and just got mine working today by following these steps.
The following procedure is confirmed to work as written.
Start Internet Sharing if it's not already running.
In Terminal, type cp /etc/bootpd.plist /tmp/bootpd.plist
Stop Internet Sharing.
Open "open -e /tmp/bootpd.plist" for editing using TextEdit or whatever.
Locate this section of the file, near the end:
<key>replythresholdseconds</key>
<integer>4</integer>
Change the value 4 to 0.
In Terminal, type sudo cp /tmp/bootpd.plist /etc
Start Internet Sharing.
If you want to, check that your change to /etc/bootpd.plist hasn't been reverted.
Then i just restarted my phone and everything seems to working for the past few hours.

Web Sharing Not Working on External Computers

OK, here's my problem. I cannot view my websites on external computers (e.g. work computer, neighbor's computer, etc.) that I'm hosting on my Mac Mini.
I'm running a new Mac Mini with OS X Lion, with the latest update. I have Web Sharing turned on. I have my firewall on, but the options show that I'm allowing web sharing.
When I visit my site on my local computer, it works fine. I type my domain name in my browser, and it finds my website.
But when I'm on an external computer anywhere else I get this message:
Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://192.168.1.100/~vgadisciple/clan_vga/index.html” because Safari can’t connect to the server “192.168.1.100”.
I have tried various browsers. I have turned off my firewall. I have cleared the cache in the various browsers. I have made sure Apache is running via my Terminal. I have tried everything I can think off.
Why can't I view my website from any other computer besides my local machine? Please help. I'm tired of paying $200 a year to a company to host my website when I can do it myself.
Any help resolving this issue will be greatly appreciated.

OK, no one was able to help me. I realized what I was doing wrong.... and I should have realized it...
192.168.x.xxx IP Addresses are always local IP addresses, and computers on the WAN cannot acccess that via the hypertext transfer protocol. I should have known this, but Apple's web sharing was pretty clear that my 192.168 IP address would work, and I thought behind the scenes it would work out the details. But since OS X Lion is more like Windows ME than previous OS X versions, I shouldn't have assumed that.
To make it work, I subsititued my LAN IP address of 192.168.1.100 with the IP address from my ISP.
Then after that I logged into my router and I used port forwarding, named the port HTML and using port 80, via TCP, and forwarded that to my local 192.168.1.100 IP address. And now it works fine.
So for example, my URL, instead of being http://192.168.1.100/~vgadisciple/clan_vga/index.html, I substituted 192.168.x.xxx with my IP address given to me by my ISP, which is 98.203.xxx.xx.
Works like a charm.

Web Sharing not working after installing security update

I have been using Web Sharing without problems for several months, but now, after installing the latest security update, my browser cannot find my server at macbook.local.
The console error messages read:
10/15/08 11:35:17

(org.apache.httpd644) Exited with exit code: 1
I have read a number of other posts (and searched a bit on Google), but nothing I found seems to address this particular console error message.
What should I do?

This page fixed the problem. For me this is the part that I had to run:
Problem 2: Apache is 64 bit, entropy is 32 bit.
The only solution to this that I've seen is to force Apache to be 32 bit. For intel based machines:
Code:
sudo cp /usr/sbin/httpd /usr/sbin/httpd-fat
sudo lipo /usr/sbin/httpd -thin i386 -output /usr/sbin/httpd
that will strip everything except the 32 bit intel code from httpd (after making a backup), forcing it to be 32 bit. For PPC, the command will be similar.
This fix is a bit tacky, but shouldn't cause any problems.
After running this everything worked as normal. Thanks to everyone that helped.

Lion Web Sharing not working

So, let's say I thought of making my MBP early 2011 running Lion (Not LION SERVER) to be a HTTP host. I'd like to switch Web Sharing on in System Preference but it won't turn on. I pressed on the check box, and after 1 second, it became unchecked again. It showed on the right hand side that it is "starting" but then it changed back to "Off". How strange it is. I've tried for hundreds of times (really!). I don't wanna change~/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist cuz it actually caused the problem of MBP not booting up. Any other methods will be fine. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't seem to me that it's the file that broke the apache server.
The fact is: I couldn't turn on Web Sharing, so I changed the mentioned file. But it doesn't help. Also my MBP won't boot after this. And after days of googling on another machine, I fixed the booting problem (I'm now using my MBP!). But the Web Sharing still refuses to be turned on. I've checked the file I edited and it is still there edited. I'm afraid changing it back would cause MBP not booting again! What should I do now?

Web Sharing not working

Hi,
I enable Web Sharing under System Preferences, but when I click the link provided, I get this error: "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." What can I do to fix this? I'd greatly appreciate any help (I'm running Lion).

I am having the same problem.
Here is the error message in console:
2/15/08 10:52:43 AM org.apache.httpd[2616] httpd: Syntax error on line 455 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 15 of /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /private/etc/apache2/users/dagny.conf: /private/etc/apache2/users/dagny.conf:1: <Directory> was not closed.
line 455 contains:

the Director tag is clearly closed, is it not?

Network file sharing not working anymore - how do I reinstall samba?

First off, I should say that I’m a PC guy who’s trying to get used to his Mac and figure out how to make it do what he wants.
So I’ve been having lots of trouble with my Mac mini. I got it this past summer and had various problems. I’d thought I’d gotten them all sorted out until this latest issue.
Here’s a quick summary of what I want to end up with: the Mac mini is supposed to be my TV computer. I have 4 external hard drives connected to it. I need to be able to access and fully manipulate the external drives over the network from a PC.
Enabling the basic samba sharing was easy. I got that working beautifully, but I was only able to access my home directory, not the external hard drives. After investigating on the Internet, it seems that I learned just enough to screw everything up.
I found out that I needed to “just” edit my smb.conf file, but I couldn’t figure out how to find it. It seems I can only get to it via Terminal or something. So I looked for alternatives.
I found a guide on Mac sharing beyond the home directory (http://www.creativemac.com/2002/10_oct/tutorials/samba021007.htm) and installed the Samba Sharing preference pane (http://xamba.sourceforge.net/ssp/index.shtml). This gave me a preference pane with both a GUI and a text editor for the smb.conf file. Seemed like a dream come true. I was even able to specify all the shares I wanted. It seemed simply and easy.
I did run into some trouble when I installed it. I got a bunch of error messages about files not being in their default location or how files needed to be updated. I thought that I had fixed all that, though I couldn’t fix the message about how files needed to be updated.
The problem is that whenever I clicked on “Start”, the entire thing crashes. Further, not samha sharing doesn’t work at all anymore. I’ve tried using the built-in samba sharing that used to work fine, but that does nothing.
I’ve tried removing every trace I can fine of the Samba Sharing preference pane I installed, but that hasn’t changed anything either. When I reinstall it, all my old settings are still there, so there must be some files saved somewhere, but I can’t find them.
I also tried installing Sharepoints (http://www.hornware.com/sharepoints/), but that didn’t change anything either.
Currently, I can’t access the Mac from any PC. I can ping the Mac’s IP fine, but I can’t browse to it on the network nor can I go directly to it. I’m not even prompted to sign in, I just get a message that it’s not valid and I should check the address.
On the Mac, I can access the PC that’s on the same workgroup as it, but I can’t access any other workgroups (which I used to be able to do).
So… what do I do now? I can’t figure out how to reset everything and start over. Right now, I’d be happy with that. Then I can try dealing with the external shares again (and more carefully this time).

Unplug your printer from your HP and use ??built in Wi-Fi that your printer has?? a usb Wi-Fi printer dongle?? Return your wireless router and get {http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/} and share many usb devices over the wi-fi network (need a powered hub for more than one usb device)?? or go to a big box store ( saw one at staples ) and get a device that is designed for 2 computers to use one printer.
How it works; USB cables one from PC, one from Mac plug into this box then one usb cable comes out and plug into your printer. Looks like a " Y " connection when your done. ( PS: usb cables not supplied)
Made by Belkin I believe.
PS: I had your problem till I bought a Prof Biz color all in one from Minolta /Bizhub 20 and Network the printer. So many choices, I picked the oldest device and replaced it and glad i did.
Good Luck
