Turning on Personal Web Sharing..!!!

[AjAy2]

I am trying to get PHP and Apache to work with one another, I am going through a tutorial and it says to turn on the 'Personal Web Sharing' in the system preferences, however when i go to turn it on I click 'Start' and it just doesnt start, it sort of tries to and just consistntly says 'Web sharing is starting up' it never does Start up.

Does anybody know whats up, and why its not working? And how to get roung it?

Any help would be greatly apprectiate.

Did you check the crash logs in Console ? Please post it here so everybody can take a peek at what is causing the issue right now. If you think it may just be Apache not starting up, you can try typing in the terminal:

sudo apachectl start

if you try that and it fails, try this:

sudo apachectl configtest

that should give more details as to what is causing the problem. you may have uncommented the module but did not add the module or something like that.
