Great guide, thanks John.
Dec 10, 2009 Setting up home web server using OS X Server 10.6 I'm currently trying to set up a home web server using OS X Server 10.6, but I have no experience with things like this, so I'm a bit stuck. I've bought the OS X Server software, and a Static domain from my ISP (which I read I'd need). Next I need to register a domain name, but I'm not sure how. OS X Server is just a HK$158 add-on to OS X — for an unlimited number of clients. That’s a fraction of what other server operating systems cost. Best of all, you don’t need expensive hardware to run it — you can use a Mac Pro, an iMac, or even a Mac mini. With OS X Server, you can deploy the server.
Just a note, in case anyone has the same issue. At first I couldn't get this to work. I tried logging out and back in (still no joy), then restarting the mac (still no joy).
Try doing both of those first. However, if, like me, you still can't get the local host site to load, try the following: You should find a file at /Library/WebServer/Documents/index.html.en . This contains the text 'It works!' referred to in the post. What I did was duplicate that file in the same folder and changed the duplicate's name to 'index.html', leaving the original in situ.
Both local and user sites then loaded. After which, I was able to delete the duplicated file and everything now works without issue. Just to be clear, leave the original file index.html.en where it is, untouched and unharmed throughout this step.

Not sure why I had to take this mysterious detour - probably something local to my machine, but if you're having trouble after following the guide above, see if it helps.
