Hi Richard,

I was following the instructions in isp-in-a-box-v2.

When i reached the steps in http://switch.richard5.net/isp-in-a-box-v2/installing-and-configuring-postfixadmin/
I ran into the same situations as others did in the responses.

Since I had the setup working from your previous ISP in a box, using a Mac mini, I went back and read them again : )

http://switch.richard5.net/isp-in-a-box-using-a-mac-mini/seting-up-mamp/

Please edit the file httpd.conf in the directory /Library/Apache2/conf/. Find the following line:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var

and change it into:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.html.var

This will allow your php index pages to appear without any problems. Next change the following lines:

User nobody
Group #-1


and change them into:

User www
Group www


The last change is to allow the use of .htaccess files on your web-server. First find the lines:

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#

Edit the line below from:

AllowOverride None

and change it into:


AllowOverride All

but these instructions don't seem to be in http://switch.richard5.net/isp-in-a-box-v2/installing-apache-on-mac-os-x/

also

User nobody 
Group #-1


has become

User daemon
Group daemon

in isp-in-a-box-v2

Thank you

Marshal, you are so right. I'm getting a red face as I read your post.
Whatta mistake to make (pronounce with italian accent ;-) ).

I'll correct this as soon as I can.
