Many thanks to David Watkins who found a solution to the problem I was having re-activating personal web sharing (see below).

The problem was occurring to to an erroneous "?" Making it's way into the httpd.conf file while I was editing it. As suggested by David, to check the configuration enter "httpd -t" in terminal, which gave me a line number on which the error could be found.

Cheers!

Hi all,

I'm having trouble reactivating Web Sharing.

While trying to fix my constant (and sadly, still current) unexpected quitting problem we reinstalled Panther and ran through the updates again. I've been going through getting my system back the way I like it, but seem unable to turn on Personal Web Sharing again (System Preferences > Sharing > Services - Personal Web Sharing).

After selecting it and clicking start a "Web Sharing starting up" message appears, Personal Web Sharing greys out, and nothing happens. Anyone have any ideas?
