I know there are dozens of questions about Apache not working, but nothing seems to solve it for me. I’m on macOS Big Sur 11.0.1.
I installed Apache with brew install httpd
and then brew services start httpd
. Everything seems to be okay, but going to http://localhost/
gives me "This site can’t be reached" error. http://127.0.0.1/
also gives that error. My /etc/hosts
configuration seems to be fine.
I don’t understand what’s wrong. What can I do to find out the issue?

I assume you have tried to follow https://getgrav.org/blog/macos-bigsur-apache-multiple-php-versions tutorial. If not no worries. I followed this tutorial and I got the same issue.
As per my understanding you have updated to BigSur from previous version and there you have used
sudo
to install apache and php etc. Now it will not work due to permission issues.I am able to make it run with the following steps
Listen 80
toListen 127.0.0.1:80
in/usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
sudo /usr/local/bin/httpd -k start
to start your httpdRest follow the tutorial to install multiple versions of PHP, enabling PHP in
httpd.conf
file and PHP version switcher. After switching the version you must stop and start the httpd via sudo command i mentioned above.So looks like things are working with this. I hope if I’m able to set proper permissions then I no longer need the sudo. And if you are at the tutorial, please check the comments at the bottom
Take care

Brew services list is wrong, misleading, not trust.

You can see httpd is error, in fact, my apache runs well,
so the info here is all wrong.
Access the index page at http://localhost:80 or by simply visiting localhost on the browser.
