Hi! Some people won't have the web sharing box in System Preferences in Mountain Lion. So, you have to enable Apache in Terminal like so sudo apachectl start You can replace "start" with stop and restart as you see fit, but keep in mind that you have to make OS X launch the daemon when you boot the system. This won't be done automatically. sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd Disabled -bool false To disable this, you of course just write "true" instead of "false" in Terminal.

Either way, configuration file is here: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf IF you don't see it, try using something like nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to open the file and edit it that way. I can't answer your questions completely, I think, since I can't make it properly work for me due to my configuration in my current area.
