[users@httpd] Newbie
Please forgive if I am sending this to the wrong place.
I am a newbie and I am trying to reinstall my apache server.
Please let me know if I sent this to the wrong place and I will no longer
bother you. Please direct me to the right place.
Thanks
Matt

You will better off installing: MAMP. You can download it from here:
<http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html> OR
<http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-macosx.html>
When you have finished with it, you can read this article:

Web Sharing and File Sharing is on and checked. But when I type in the
Safari browser " http://localhost/" I get the message "Safari can't open the
page "http://localhost/" because the server unexpectedly dropped the
connection. This sometimes occurs when the serveris busy. Wait for a few
minutes, and then try again."
Which is why they told me to I need to reload Apache.
1. Do you think I should reinstall Apache?
2. If so I downloaded httpd-2.2.17 and it is sitting on my desktop. Where
should I put that folder? I keep all of my websites in the site folder.

I'm surprised, but AppleCare might have missed the obvious: You will need to turn on the general features of file sharing in OS X. System preferences is the application and Network or Sharing are the GUI style questions. They are obvious to a casual user but frustratingly complex when viewed by a UNIX user.

Great! This is awesome! Glad you are here.
My ultimate goal is to run the server on my iMac running Mac OS X Version
10.6.6. Using Adobe Dreamweaver I want to test PHP pages locally on my
computer. All mac's come with Apache installed but for some reason mine is
not running right. I called AppleCare and they said that I need to reinstall
Apache.
When I type in the Safari browser " http://localhost/" I get the message "
Safari can¹t open the page ³http://localhost/² because the server
unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server
is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again."
1. Do you think I should reinstall Apache?
2. If so I downloaded httpd-2.2.17 and it is sitting on my desktop. Where
should I put that folder? I keep all of my websites in the site folder.
