Hi, I'm having the same problem. I'm running 10.3.8 on an eMac.
Following the previous posts in this thread and I have searched for a file called httpd.conf and a folder called httpd or etc with a nil return for any of them. Does this mean something is not installed as it should be?? I've put my own index.html file into Library/WebServer/Documents but still get the default Apache page when I click on http://localhost/ in the System Preferences Sharing screen. Same goes when I put my own index.html page in the sites folder. When I click refresh at http://localhost/ in my browser I get a denied access error page 403. Yes, I've turned on Personal Web Sharing. I'm running broadband through Highway1 with a fixed IP address and had hoped to be able to serve my website from my eMac.
