Can't connect to my own "Personal Website" - Help needed please!

[Confusio]

Hi,
I'm trying to run a personal server on my MAC.
For that matter I have set ON the "Web Sharing" featured in "System Preferences> Sharing" (Web Sharing allows users of other computers to view web pages in the Sites folders on this computer)

After doing this, I'm able to see the home page of my Computer's Website, but I can't connect to my Personal Website.

When I click the link for "Your Computer's Website" I get the home page I have set.

But when I click on the link: "Your Personal Website" I get a "Forbidden" message.

In Firefox:

And in IE, with a little more explanations, but no clue of what to do.

I wish I can access both sites hosted in my computer from the internet.
I will appreciate all ideas that you can provide to have this working right.
Thank you very much!

Just curious... do you have an HTML index file in your personal web folder? If you don't have an "index.html" or an "index.htm", then the browser will try to do a "directory listing", which is probably what is being forbidden.

Can you try going to http://youripaddress/~yourshortname/somefile.html instead of just http://youripaddress/~yourshortname/ and see if it works?

Thank you EDCC,
Yes I have tried that.
The index.html in the Macintosh path is actually the one that I can see in "Computer's Website", because the ~Site/ folder was empty by the moment I set the Web Sharing ON for the first time.

Then when I noticed that the link to my "Personal Website" wasn't working I went ahead and set in ~Site/ folder a web page with only a HTML file named "index".

Even though this "Personal Website" isn't working.

Thanks again.
Can I try something else?

Hmmm... so going to both:

http://yoursite/~shortname/

and

http://yoursite/~shortname/index.html

both produce the "Forbidden" message?

Instead of using "yoursite" or whatever is told to you in the Sharing pane of the System Preferences, try using "localhost" instead... so it will look like this:

http://localhost/~shortname/

Or, instead of localhost, try 127.0.0.1 like this:

http://127.0.0.1/~shortname/

and see if either of those produce better results.

No EDCC,
Just the link for the "Personal Website".

If you have the time, please follow the links posted along with the text. They will take you to shots that might help you to visualize my issue better.

And same result with localhost and 127.0.0.1
Thank you.

All these movies and junk going over the Internet... and what happens to your own, personal Internet? Don't get me started on how long it took for me to get the Internet my staff sent me last Friday.
