Create a simple HTML page called myTestFile.html
and save it in the /Users/your_user_name/Sites/ folder
on your Macintosh (where your_user_name is your Macintosh
user name). The HTML page can consist of a single line, such as:
<p>My web server is working.</p>
Open the test page in a web browser with an HTTP request
by entering the following URL in your web browser:
http://localhost/~your_user_name/myTestFile.html
If the browser displays your page, the web server is
running normally. If the browser fails to display the page, make
sure you specified your Macintosh user name prefixed with the ~
character.
Note: Your Apache web server won’t work with PHP by default;
you must configure it before you can use PHP.
