Last week , I connected 2 macs to my cable modem with a new router.
The router configuration worked, assigned new IP and both mac were able to connect online. After that , I was poking around trying to establish a small file network between the 2 machines (first time doing it) and I think I made an idiotic mistake when I changed the permissions on my hard drive. (get info->details->owner) I changed the selection from system to my username and "applied to enclosed items" which is everything on my machine.
right after that I watched my drive icon simply vanish from the desktop!
So of course I restarted and I got the blue screen of death.
I was able to recover in safe mode trying different things but the procedure that made the system work again involved some scmod#.
The machine booted normally after that and everything seemed to work fine. I immediately performed a permission repair with disk utilities. (I gave up the idea of networking for now)
I also noticed that now, I had 2 new "old preference files " in my root directory.
Now here's my problem:
The thing that no one has been able to figure out.
I get a 403 denied whenever I try to connect to my "Site" folder using the new IP.
E,G : http://192.168.1.100/~myusername . I know apache is working cause I see it when I use either just http://192.168.1.100 or /localhost but wont let me in with my own user name.
I looked into apache conf and I don't see anything weird ( thou, not too sure what to look for)
I repaired permissions for the terminal, I zapped the RAM. Not sure where else to look.
Also, I can see my wife's Mac in the network but looking for mine in her's, nothing but beach ball.
these are the permissions:
erics-Computer:~ eric$ ls -l Sites
total 8
drwxrwx--- 7 eric eric 238 23 Jun 09:07 MYTESTSITE
