Apache home page

Hi!

I turned on personal web sharing for the first time since a fresh
10.4 install two weeks earlier. I'm getting the apache homepage
not my ~/Sites directory.

Does anyone know what happened?

Or more importantly, am I safe just to hunt down the httpd.conf
and set it myself, without the gui undoing it some time in the
future?

Thanks.

What address did you type into your web browser? If you just typed in
"localhost" or your Mac's IP address, you'll get the computer's home page,
which is in /Library/WebServer/Documents. To see the home page of a
specific user (including yourself), you have to specify whose page you want
to see, like so:

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://localhost/~kevin" target="_blank">http://localhost/~kevin</a>

or

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://192.168.1.42/~kevin" target="_blank">http://192.168.1.42/~kevin</a><!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
