Okay, Have found a resource on the internet advising me to make some changes to my Apache2 configuration file. So, I know where the file is:
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf and can get to it through terminal but, I need to edit it and can't get to this location with Textedit. Can anybody advise me how to get to this directory which seems to be protected by the Mac? Alternatively, please provide me the necessary edit command to launch edit under terminal. I am very rusty on my Unix commands. I thought it was edit or e but, neither work.
