Running ps aux | egrep '(apache|httpd)’

I get:

So it seems me, how can I change this,

What does the error log say?

What user and group is the httpd process actually running as? (`ps aux` should tell you.)

I followed this guide to install apache on Sierra 10.12.5:

And it worked locally for a while logged in using the same Mac user.

The only problem is I need this for dynamic dns and to have external global access. I followed the steps on the 172 rated first reply in this post:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2001881/correct-owner-group-permissions-for-apache-2-site-files-folders-under-mac-os-x

Now both the domain name access and localhost access gives this error:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Please advise how to resolve,

Thank you very much,
