Hi, I am running OS X on an ibook, and when I try to start web sharing, the button grays and nothing happens (ie, the button doesn't become a stop button). When I check the active processes, no httpd. Any ideas?

  i had the same problem. see recent article in macfixit os x section. i
  
  looking at the console, i saw i was missing a file called:
  
  /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
  
  there was a file called:
  /etc/httpd/httpd.conf.bak
  
  i went to the /etc/httpd/ directory and duplicated the backup file as:
  
  %sudo cp httpd.conf.bak httpd.conf
  
  then it worked.
  
  who knew.

  I am sorry, but that is not enough for me to make it work! do they have to have sufficient priviledges or anything like that?

  Do you know how to get into your Terminal? If so, run "httpd -t". What do you get for output? What version of the OS are you running?

  I am running 10.1.1
  
  [wcostain:~] willardc% httpd -t
  dyld: httpd Undefined symbols:
  _apple_hfs_module
  
  
  Seems to be the same as the other guy.

  This is a common problem after updating to 10.1. There's a Apple Knowledge Base article that will explain how to fix it in depth:
  
  http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106505
  
  Unfortunately, you do need a username and a password to see this document. For a quicker explanation, check out this article:

  It's under the "Apache breaks upon update" heading. I have to admit that I haven't run into this error myself, but the answers I've seen are solid and make sense, so things should go smoothly for you.

  Thanks. I went to the stepwise site and did what they suggested:
  
  
  
  sudo perl -i.prefix -p -e 's/apple_hfs_module/hfs_apple_module/g' /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
  
  This seems to have done the trick.

  I seem to have the same problem on my iBook. I get
  [localhost:~] kgani% httpd -t
  dyld: httpd Undefined symbols:
  _apple_hfs_module
  in the Terminal. Is this a common problem? My G3-desktop works flawlessly.
