Greetings,
I apologize if this is already covered, but I did not find it with my search efforts. There are some threads that are close but different enough.
I am trying to create a web blog on my Mac (Mac OS X 10.6.2) using Apache and WordPress as a prototype before I publish it. I am new at this aspect of using the Macintosh. I want more control than I would get from just using a web blog service such as WordPress.com. I am using a Mac with dual 3 GHz Intel dual core processors with 6GB of ram. Norton Security is loaded but its firewall is turned off. I also have a separate firewall/router connected through which my home LAN accesses the cable modem box. (I don't currently have access to the devices as I write this, so I cannot tell if the external box has ping disabled.) I would be happy at the moment just to be able to view the web page/blog locally so I can learn what I am doing and debug it. I have in the distant pass, prior to 10.6, made a simple webpage with html and gotten it to run on my previous Mac.
Well it looks really simple but it is not working at all. I have gone into the System Preference and set Web Sharing to on, and even rebooted. I have placed what are supposed to be the appropriate files into ./Users/myshortname/Shares folder. System Preference indicates that I should be able to access the web page at http://192.168.0.36/~myshortname/
, but I get the following error message:
Safari cant open the page at http://192.168.0.36/~myshortname/ because
Safari cant connect to the server 192.168.0.36.
Firefox is blank.
TOP indicates that httpd is running.
I have even gone through running a script from Apple for 10.5 that is supposed to fix it.
<Directory "/Users/myshortname/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
If I use FireFox or Safari to access http://127.0.0.1 I get
It Works!
But nada if I use the computers IP address. BTW, I cannot find the location of the index.html file for http://127.0.0.1
H E L P !
Please tell me what is wrong and how to fix it or please point me to
the correct place to get the information.
Thanks
