Hi,
I am trying hard to follow everything but at the end this always comes out:You don’t have permission to access /~pedrofmrodrigues/Movies/ on this server.
Thx very much!

Did you make the Music folder web-accessible? You need to run Terminal and type:

sudo chmod 755 ~/Music

I am using this procedure on Snow Leopard, but I originally set it up on 10.5. My media is stored on an external (USB) drive.

Mine is setup like this:

Macintosh:Library:WebServer:MyMedia:[SymbolicLinkToMedia]
So I access it via: http://myComputer.local/myMedia/SymbolicLinkToMedia

And it works without problems.

I suspect this is a problem with Snow Leopard. Hang in there while I look for a solution. Sorry!

i had the same issue. failed on both my imac and macbook. both running 10.6.2
the error was famous 403, forbidden to access. i followed your steps to create the symbolic links under /Library/WebServer/Documents, for both music and movie. neither works.
the access to “http://myserver”, it shows “it works”, but simply not with the symbolic links i created, say “http://myserver/Music”.
can you shed some light?

Can you please elaborate on your error? What do you do to invoke it?

I have tried this numerous times but am still getting a permissions error despite executing the sudo chmod 755 ~/music terminal command. Trying to enable on a webserver running on 10.4.11 – an ideas what the issue might be? I’ve stop/started the server multiple times and also done this process from scratch 3 times. Looked for answers via Google but couldn’t come up with a solution. Seems like a very fundamental issue, but I can’t seem to find a straight-forward solution.

I don’t think this is possible, guys. You need the web server to be running on your Mac in order to access it.
