Not sure whether apache is running

    I compiled and installed Apache 2.2.3 on Mac OS 10.4.8

    When I started apache I had to use sudo and the exact path but I did get a prompt back.

    In the browser, http://localhost returns a page:

    It Works!

    Which seems to be located in an apache directory.

    However Personal Web Sharing in preferences is NOT on. And turning it on just becomes an endless loop --starting but never Started.

    And if I try to browse to

    127.0.0.1/~my_user_name

    Browser says not found.

    I did not do anything to the config file after installing. How do I get Apache to run totally?

    From what you are describing, Apache is running, it's the configurations that you'll need to set up properly, that's where all of the action is.

    to run 127.0.0.1/~your_user_name

    you need the Module UserDir in Apache
