Apache set up mac os yosemite

Question

I am trying to get Apache to run on my yosemite machine, but when i try to access localhost i get https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZzZzB.png.

I ran an apache configtest and got the following

Angus-Mac:mysql root# apachectl configtest AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using Angus-Mac.local. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message Syntax OK

What am i getting wrong? any ideas?

Also please paste the permission you have on the directory? ls -l /Library/WebServer/Documents. and also paste the error_log. Thanks! — liorsolomon, Dec 04 '14 at 19:50

change the group permissions on that folder to _www

sudo chgrp -R _www /Library/WebServer/Documents (all web content is now group _www)
chmod -R go-rwx /Library/WebServer/Documents (nobody other than owner can access web content)
chmod -R g+rx /Library/WebServer/Documents (all web content is now readable/executable/enterable by _www)

then restart apache It seems your user in httpd.conf is different that the one on the web directory

I found the solution here

Please uncomment the ServerName in line 212 (httpd.conf) and change the domain www.example.com to your domain. Restart apache

it says there is no such filler directory – Angus Dec 04 '14 at 21:14
Please run it again with your directory path. – liorsolomon Dec 04 '14 at 21:19
now it says safari can't connect to localhost and it went back to forbidden – Angus Dec 04 '14 at 21:26
can you please share the error log from /var/log/apache2/error_log? – liorsolomon Dec 05 '14 at 01:45
please change in httpd.conf: DirectoryIndex index.html to DirectoryIndex index.html index.php and delete logs and restart apache. send me the error log again if you still face the same problem. – liorsolomon Dec 05 '14 at 02:50
please delete the log and restart, its hard to figure along all those lines what is going on. after you restart please paste the log here again. thanks – liorsolomon Dec 05 '14 at 03:06

Uncommenting the ServerName and changing it to the domain name solved the issue.
