In an effort to save you an afternoon of searching, I thought I would post this to help the OS X users having this issue. There are the usual causes of no content in the web root, firewall blocking requests, incorrect permissions and/or httpd.conf syntax errors. The one error that is a little tougher to track down is apache not being able to create log files. Check the line in the httpd.conf file that shows the path to apache’s log file. It should look something like this:
ErrorLog “/private/var/log/apache2/error_log”
Now if the directory apache2 does not exist in /private/var/log/, apache will fail to start without giving you much of an error message. To correct this, in terminal type:
sudo mkdir /private/var/log/apache2
Enter your admin password and restart apache either in System Preferences=>Sharing=>Web Sharing or in terminal by typing:
sudo apachectl restart
Once this is done, enter your web address in the web browser and you should see your pages load. Hope this helps!
