Setting up a local web server on macOS 14.5 “Sonoma”

I followed the guidance here, kindly provided by @etresoft, to set up a local webserver on a brand new Mac Studio. etresoft's advice was extremely helpful and the process ran smoothly until starting the server.

sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

produced the error

Load failed: 5: Input/output error

A frustrating hour of Googling told me only that load was a legacy subcommand and a few hints that start might be a suitable alternative. Indeed, that turned out to be the case:

sudo launchctl start -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

succeeded and I was able to view the stubs at both

http://localhost

and

http://localhost/~<short user name>

I'm posting this as a very small update to etresoft's extremely helpful original post. Much kudos to them for their advice.
