When you first start pico does it have this at the top of the file? ## ## httpd.conf -- Apache HTTP server configuration file ## If not, you're not in the right directory, or something's messed up with your system installation, or the configuration file was accidentally deleted or overwritten. Make sure, before you started pico, you did a 'cd /etc/httpd' command, because if pico doesn't find a file of the right name in the current directory it starts a new file with the name you give it, so the top bar will look right at the 'file:' part. Before you do the pico command, do a 'pwd' command...it should print '/private/etc/httpd' . (yes, I know you went to /etc/httpd in the cd command above, but that was like clicking on an alias of a folder. /etc/httpd is a link, a Unix version of an alias to the actual directory /private/etc/httpd.) If you're not there do the 'cd /etc/httpd' command. Do an 'ls' command, you should see the following: [Bruce-Johnsons-Computer:/] johnson% cd /etc/httpd [Bruce-Johnsons-Computer:/etc/httpd] johnson% ls httpd.conf httpd.conf.default magic.default mime.types.default httpd.conf.bak magic mime.types users If you see this, but don't see httpd.conf, something's messed up. Do 'cp httpd.conf.default httpd.conf' to make a new copy to edit. > -- Wherever you go, there you are. Bruce Johnson -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
