After many failed attempts, I have found out how to get web sharing with apache to work on my mac with leopard os x 10.5.2

Update 2: I’ve been using web sharing on my MBP and encountered an annoyance. In Sharing under System Prefrences, it shows http://192.168.1.3/~dagny/ as the URL of my home page. This is fine until my rounter assigns my mac a new IP address, a normal occurance. If I bookmarked the URL I will get an http error. The fix is to change the IP address (192.168.1.3 in this case) to localhost. So the URL becomes http://localhost/~dagny/ localhost is the IP shorthand for “this machine” and is the loopback ip address (127.0.0.1) NOTE: This is only good when I access the page from my computer – which I do a lot when working on web sites locally.
Update: This post gets read a lot. To summarize the linked article, there was a problem in the installer, it did not copy a file that Apache needs. The details are in the article. I found that I had to change to the root user (in terminal, su root) to copy the files.
