  type in:
  
  http://localhost/~[username]/
  
  of course, replacing the [username] with yours!
  
  as well, if you have a html file called index.html put into your Sites folder, this will be what comes up when you go to your root localhost directory as written above, otherwise a directory listing of your folders and files in Sites will show up in your browser

  I have an additional question. Replacing the index.html in //localhost/~(tilde)username "sites" by my on website as well as replacing the content of library/Websites/documents gives me a 403 forbidden.
  I put my website up to the server with Fetch from a Powerbook within the network and otherwise by drag and drop from within the same disc. Nothing worked. Now I can't replace the backup files. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I don't want to go to the terminal and destroy my whole system or Apache, because I'm very new to this.
  I'm working on a Dual 1000, OSX 10.2.6, behind a router, within a network of four Macs. IE 5.2 shows me my complete machine when calling localhost.
  My name is Wolf Dresp. I'm calling from Germany.
