I recently or not so recently posted a thread "Localhost Problem" well that threads been locked so I cant reply on there anymore...

so continuing...

I have reached the point of no return on getting my localhost to work.
No matter what I have tried nothing works, its great to have it working on my MacBook but I really need it on my iMac...

Now Im asking for services, can anyone help?

I am willing to pay anyone who successfully helps me get my localhost working.

Also a further payment for anyone wishing to help me install PHP & MySql on my iMac..

Thank you

Had to close the earlier thread as it had become targeted by a porn spam bot for some reason. It's this thread for anyone to catch up on.

No Problem

"Stupid Porn Spammers" There Pointless

anyway... Thanks for the links. Ill try them and get back here with a reply.

Ok So I went through the first tutorial at : http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Apach...P-on-Mac-OS-X/

I took all the # off these...

LoadModule php4_module
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

restarted web sharing and Apache. went to http://localhost/ but still a Fail To Connect comes up. Theres an Index.html file in both Library/WebServer and MySites.

One thing I noticed was in System Preferences / Sharing / Web Sharing all the information has gone, nothing there at all also if i was to click the ? in the bottom right corner no help is there.

Id love to have this sorted before I install PHP and MySql but im reaching the end... not sure where to go? whats wrong? or what i am doing wrong?

Ive been through lots of online tutorials, all of which mainly telling me how to set this up, but not troubleshooting.

All the tutorials i have been through are :

Maybe these links could help others but due to my problem I cant find what I need, or either figure out what my problem is, this is really pushing my knowledge on server set ups. Im at the point of no return, help lol

Does a mac have a hosts file like windows? If it does, check to see if localhost is in there pointing to your local computer (127.0.0.1)

Actually, if you go to http://127.0.0.1 what happens?
