| 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>
