Trying to set up localhost

[MDMstudios]

Hey all, I'm trying to get Apache working on my iMac (running latest OS and update), I turn on web sharing, which from what I understand should get everything working. When I try to accsess a file in my Sites dirrectory though, I get error 403 " Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /~daniel/index.html on this server. " The URL I am trying to connect to is localhost/~daniel/index.html

I can connect to localhost, just not localhost/~daniel and anything that comes after that.
Permissions are set so I can read and write, and everyone else can just read. I have the correct firewall settings as well.

You can check your permissions on your user folder.

They are set correctly.

No idea seems to work for me, you can try MAMP

Apache keeps an error log where you can see what the problem is. In your case, though, it is very clear: Fix the permissions.
