If not, there is an useful way to find out what's wrong: Use "Sportlight" to open "Terminal": Type "apachectl configtest" and the result will either be "Syntax OK" or some error messages suggesting why "Web Sharing" is not working. With those error messages, it will be much easier to find out what's wrong and put things right again. Woodrackets:

If not, there is an useful way to find out what’s wrong:

This is a Leopard related problem. Since I don't have access to your computer, all I can do is to try to explain things as clear as possible. As mentioned in the Apple document, "403 Error" mostly happens to users who upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. I got this error when I upgraded to Leopard and it was solved by following Apple's solution (which is why I put it on the website for everyone's reference). Just for your information, Leopard seemed to slow down in my Macbook after the upgrade, so I used the Leopard disk, did an "Archive and Install" and everything worked flawlessly ever since. Now I'm using 10.5.5 and the everything is fine, including "Web Sharing". Since this is an issue in Apple's operating system, the best way to solve it is look for Apple customer service. If you have AppleCare or your Apple Telephone Support is still valid, it will be much easier--just dial the toll-free number of AppleCare (found in Apple homepage->Support), explain that "Web Sharing" does not work for you and they will troubleshoot the problem, step by step. If not, I will try my best to help you find out the cause. May I know what the error message is after you followed the Apple document? Still getting "403 Permission denied"? What is the permission for your home directory? Right click->Get Info and make sure "unknown" and "everyone" have "Read only" access. What is your permission for your "~/Sites" directory? "unknown" and "everyone" should have "Read only" access as well. *Please check your email for a reply with picture illustrations*

Before making more claims, you'd better look at the Discussions folder on Apple.com. There're a lot of people who are having trouble after the 10.5.5 OS update. I'm just one of 'em.

When I follow your instructions my network get messed up; in fact, following your instructions Sharing says, "starting Internet sharing may affect network." Now I cannot get on the Internet, nor move text files over to my iTouch. You'd better give instructions for the res of us, or my money back. It don't work. I’m running an iMac on an Airport network.

In your case, simply go to your Mac's system preferences-->Network and note down the IP address for your Mac. In BookZ, use Utilities->Surf and Download->IP address of your Mac's IP address followed by "~username". (username is your computer's username). For example, my computer has the address "10.0.2.1/~steve". Bookmark the address and you won't need to type it again : ) BookZ is designed to be a text reader whereas AirSharing and DropCopy are essentially file transfer utilities. It is not easy to simply include the major feature of AirSharing/DropCopy into BookZ because there are many issues like memory shortage. Nevertheless, I'm looking for better ways to transfer files. Thanks for your feedback, Steve Dear Guy Immega,
