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?

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?
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.
