I checked and to my surprise Personal Web Sharing was turned on. I
was messing around with it yesterday because I thought that might have
something to do with my problems, but I couldn't get Personal Web
Sharing to start--it just said "Web Sharing starting up...", and it
never did.
Anyway, I turned Personal Web Sharing off, and then the error message
changed to this:
$ sudo /Library/Apache2/bin/apachectl start
Password:
httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified
domain name, using tms-computer.local for ServerName
However, I checked the All Processes page in the Activity Monitor, and
it said httpd was running. So I tested my apache installation by
typing http:/localhost in Safari's address bar, and a page displayed
saying "It works!". But I wondered if that page was being served up
by the pre-installed version of Apache or my new installation. So, I
went into my new installation's directory and looked at the file:
/Library/Apache2/htdocs/index.html
and changed the text from "It works!" to "Apache 2.2.4", but when I
retyped http:/localhost in Safari's address bar, I still got a page
saying "It works!", so that page is not being served by my new
installation.
