Re: Very high intermediate towards advanced question about sharing

[Travis Siegel]

Just for reference, there's no need to change any configuration items  
in apache to get your main site to work..
By default, if you open http://localhost/ (or the ip assigned to that  
computer) you'll get the main apache site.  You don't need to use the  
user directories at all if you don't wish to do so.  Simply build  
your web site as you like, then drop it all into the main apache  
htdocs folder.  The location of this folder varies (slightly and  
occasionally) from release to release, and depending on which version  
of apache you're using, but it's usually /library/webserver/htdocs  
(or something similar, that's from memory, not an actual look into my  
folders to see the true path, but regardless, all you need to do is  
build your web site there, and all will work as you ask, without you  
having to change any configuration files at all.
The user folders will still be there if you desire to use them, but  
there's nothing saying you must.

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.


From what I can tell, Apache actually already uses both system and 
user-specific web sharing, though I can't make the system-wide 
configuration work when I put files in the appropriate folders. This may 
just be because it might have one enabled this being the user, but it does 
show the site added in the /library/webserver/documents location which is 
for the system-wide web share, so I can't imagine that being correct.


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.


Regards,
Nicolai

Re: Very high intermediate towards advanced question about sharing

[Nicolai Svendsen]

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.

Nicolai

Re: Very high intermediate towards advanced question about sharing

[John Panarese]

   Yes, but I don't think the personal website is supported in ML any longer.  
Did you upgrade from Lion or Snow Leopard?  It might still be in sharing prefs 
because of that.  With my Mini, which I did a complete clean install on, there 
is no Web sharing service listed in my sharing prefs.
