8. Problems

   1. If you click the info.php file, the download appears, or you just display a small paragraph of text
      Workaround:
      * Enter the following two commands in the terminal: *

      • $sudo apachectl -k stopClose Apache Server
      • $sudo apachectl -k startRe-launch Apache again

   2. Every time you start your computer, the Apache server will not start automatically by default!

      After you can start the computer, open the terminal and enter the following command:

      $sudo apachectl -k startLaunch Apache

   3. The most common problem

      The swap file already exists, press the letter D directly, you can delete the swap file!

   4. The Apache configuration for Mac 10.10 is slightly different!

      See "Server Configuration Video \02-mac10.10 Apache configuration. mp4"

      Found in httpd.conf

      "Options FollowSymLinks Multiviews"

      Add a word Indexes, the result of the modification is as follows:

      "Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews"

      Tip: Don't take a minute to learn vim at the moment.
