OS X Personal Web Sharing Space

[ncordova]

Dear Friends:

My apologies again for the newbie questions. I figured how to install it in my OS X Tiger system -- by using MAMP. I changed the Document Root in MAMP so that now it looks to the Personal Web Sharing folder in the Mac (the Sites folder in the /usr/ space. I added images, etc. But... how do I get to the blog itself? When I type in the computer address ("personal website") as provided in the Sharing tab under system preferences, it does not bring me at all to the photoblog.

http://my.computer.address/

if I type this:

http://my.computer.address/~username/

It brings me to the generic OS X page in place. But when I type:

http://my.computer.address/~username/pixelpost/

it opens to the pixelpost directory which I placed in the Sites folder. How should I be calling up the blog?

The blog comes up fine under this URL:

http://localhost:8888/pixelpost/

But that's not a proper address for external viewing. So, what address should I provide others?

Thanks!

I'm sorry but this a Pixelpost forum and not a place to seek help in getting your personal web server up and running. While I'd love to help, I'm not a magician and can't do everything.

There are much better sources of information out there. I doubt anyone here has the time / resources to go through your configuration with you.

As another forum member pointed out in your original thread (http://www.pixelpost.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7643), try the apple support forum or the thousands of other forums out there that specialize in such practices.

Google (http://www.google.com/) is your friend.

Goodluck
