This may be very silly basic need. But advice :)

I need to have files in "/Library/WebServer/Documents" shared when i type localhost in my web browser . I googled & did the following things

sudo apachectl start

Changed AllowOverride to all as follows in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf ::


<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride all

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

</Directory>

sudo apachectl restart


But when i type localhost only thing I see is "It works!" not the files shared on that foldet.

It sucks really . Please Help !!!!
 
I did nothing great .

After doing above mentioned steps , I just moved index.html.en file out of /Library/WebServer/Documents/ folder .

Now share works great :) :apple:
