Setting Up a local web server on MacOS Ventura Installing local web server on perfectly clean new install of OS Ventura. I followed Etresoft's outstanding directions. Everything works except one little thing.. When I navigate to http://localhost/~donaldduck/ I do not get the "My Site Works" web page, rather I get a directory listing which includes the file: index.html.en I can click on the index.html.en file, and get the "My Site Works" page. I suspect the user .conf file, but I've carefully examined the fie and it looks perfect. Can you offer any ideas to troubleshoot? Thank you
