Thanks for your help Lester. When I try "http://localhost"; in my browser I get a "403 Forbidden : you dont have permission to access / on this server" message. I installed Apache manually in my personal location (although I already have the Mac's builtin installation, the reason I'm doing this is that all the tutorials I found for a deeper understanding of Apache are for non-Mac environments, and if I wish to adapt those tutorials to my Mac I need to use something I installed myself so as to know where things are. Plus, I don't want my little experiments to interfere with built-in defaults on my system).
