Topic: Unable to find my directory on apache server

[Cooldude]

Hi,

I am running on macbook air Apache 2.4.16 version with php and mysql and am unable to locate my directory :-

When I type in http://localhost/ in the url - the message on the webpage says "It Works !"

But.............

When I type under the url

http://localhost/username/

The following page is displayed :-

Not Found
The requested URL /username/ was not found on this server.

What do I need to do in order to see my directory ?

Kind Regards

You need to enable mod_userdir ( if you haven't done yet)

But then the url would be http://localhost/~username/

see https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_userdir.html

if you still have a question please ask again.
