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.
