Hi Guy Thanks for your suggestions.
I tried the change and when I look at my hosts file I see this: ## # Host Database # # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry. ## 127.0.0.1 localhost 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost ::1 localhost fe80::1%lo0 localhost I have not changed anything. I got the same error in the browser - that safari could not find the page --- In [email protected], Guy Morton <g...@...> wrote: > > Try using 127.0.0.1 instead of "localhost" > > You probably don't have "localhost" set up in your hosts file.
