I am trying to get my personal Site to be read by the Apache and did all of the stuff covered earlier. My problem started out with the 404 screen, but as I worked in doing the solutions I got to the point where Safari couldn't find the address altogether (Safari can't find the server...) I tried starting back over at ground zero by using Time Machine to revert to a point last week. I even went into Time Machine and manually replaced the htttpd.conf file all to no avail. Any help would be highly appreciated. Let me throw my problems onto the pyre…
