So if I navigate in any of my browsers to localhost, I get the default "It works" page. However, as soon as I try navigation to my sites directory which has been told to act as my user document root, I get an error that says not found. What is weird is that if I double click the actual index.html file in the Sites folder, I get the page that I expect which says a little bit more than "It works".
The url of the file that I double-click in Sites folder of finder is | Code: | | file:///Users/MyMacbook/Sites/index.html |
When I try accessing that page through localhost I try
That produces as expected with "It works". When I try
| Code: | | http://localhost/~MyMacbook/ |
I get the not found error. I have even tried typing the full path of it by
| Code: | | http://localhost/Users/Sites/MyMacbook/ |
In my MyMacbook.conf file I have the following configuration
| Code: | <Directory "/Users/MyMacbook/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride ALL
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory> |
