Set up local webserver on MacBook Pro Sonoma 14.5

I am following etresoft's article, Setting up a local web server on macOS 14 “Sonoma” (Setting up a local web server on macOS 14… - Apple Community) to set up a local web server. Things were going well until

I got to the line where I needed to enter


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


I got the error

Load failed: 5: Input/output error


I get the index file when I go to localhost but when I go to localhost/<my username>, I get, Not Found. The requested URL was not found on this server.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.5

that URL would only work if there's a file in Apache's default directory named '<my username>'


If you're trying to enable per-user web sites (and have edited Apache's configuration to do so), then the appropriate URL would be http://localhost/~<my username>


(the ~ tells Apache to look in the appropriate user's directory for content, rather than the Apache default directory.


Without knowing your goal here (do you want ~username URLs? or a single unified site?), it's hard to tell you what needs changing.
