For Mac
- From the Apple menu, select System Preferences
- Click “Sharing”, and then click the services tab.
- Select Personal Web Sharing, and then click the Start Button
- in your browser go to http://localhost
- You can save your files for a site at: Users Directory > Your Username (homedirectory) Sites
enable PHP
- open /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
- remove the hash from the line that reads
LoadModule php5_module - libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
- save the file, if you don't have permissions it won't allow you to save, some editors give you permissions automatically

- open /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
- change the line
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"
