Sounds like there are some errors in your modifications of the httpd.conf file. To have Apache test your configuration, enter your Terminal, and type the following: httpd -t If everything is dandy, you'll get a "Syntax OK". If everything isn't, then it should point you to the reasons why.

Showing messages 1 through 3 of 3.

  By entering "httpd -t" I get:
  
  Syntax error on line 393 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf: Invalid command 'Includes', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration.
  
  What can I make of it?

  Welp, if you could open the httpd.conf file and scroll down to that area, could you cut and paste what you see in there, so that I can take a look.
  
  In my own httpd.conf, right around that area, I see:
  
  Options Includes Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  
  If, however, I incorrectly make that line:
  
  Options
  Includes Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  
  Then I get the same error that you're seeing.

  Everything works fine now! Many thanks!
  
  I made a rather embarassing mistake:
  "Includes Options ... "
  
  I' m learning a lot right now. It's quite hard work, and it's really exciting. - I'm looking forward to your next article.
