I have tried all the steps in these links and many other. Nothing seems to help. I cannot get the web work in Sites directory to be recognized. This is preventing me from getting work done. I am very unlikely to every upgrade to another Mac OS. Any other ideas. No matter what I do I get the The requested URL /~username/ was not found on this server.
