Hey, I just turned on Web Sharing but it's not working. Safari always says it can't connect to the server. Even from the local machine, when I just click the link directly in the Sharing preferences. Can anybody help me with this?
 
Did you recently restore your system from a Time Machine backup? That happened to me once, and its a pretty simple fix. I don't remember it exactly, but I'll see if I can find it.
 
Not recently, but I didn't use Web Sharing before, so this might have been an issue for a long time that I'm just discovering now.
 
I should also add that SSH doesn't seem to be working. I tried to log in from another computer on the same network, and it just hung after the ssh command, never prompting me for my password. Seems related.
