Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Hi
It seems my 'Localhost' is not present on my iMac. On my macbook it works fine. I find several 'solutions' online but none seem to apply. Apache seems to be fine and have no errors.
Ping local host -> Unknown host
Safari -> Host unknown.

By default the built-in webserver is not running, so it is no surprise that Safari cannot reach the localhost server.
You can easily turn it on, and get the default page in Safari: in the Terminal, type
sudo apachectl start
You will be asked for your password. Type it blindly (nothing will appear as you type; that is normal), and press enter.
Then in Safari you will see that it is working:
Hey, I fixed it.
sudo nano /etc/hosts showed nothing.
I added:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost.
Now it works. No idea why it wasn;t there in the first place. My macbook was fine.
Hi, it didn;t work. Infact I get the message :
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist: service already loaded
That message means that your server was already running.
What exactly happens in Safari if you type
Thanks for posting the solution. It is weird that the /etc/hosts was empty.
Localhost not present
