HTM files are most commonly known as HTML files, which are the files that contain HTML language. If you open an HTM file in a text editor like Notepad or TextEdit, you’ll only see lines of text and symbols. But when you open HTM files in a web browser like Safari, Edge, or Chrome, you'll see the web page created by the code. To open the filename.html in the default browser use: open filename.html open is a very good command as well as a feature of Mac OS that makes me fall in love with it more deeper. It automatically chooses the appropriate default app to open the file. And in case you want to open a file in your desired app rather then default.
Great guide, thanks John.
Just a note, in case anyone has the same issue. At first I couldn't get this to work. I tried logging out and back in (still no joy), then restarting the mac (still no joy).
Try doing both of those first. However, if, like me, you still can't get the local host site to load, try the following: You should find a file at /Library/WebServer/Documents/index.html.en . This contains the text 'It works!' referred to in the post. What I did was duplicate that file in the same folder and changed the duplicate's name to 'index.html', leaving the original in situ.
Both local and user sites then loaded. After which, I was able to delete the duplicated file and everything now works without issue. Just to be clear, leave the original file index.html.en where it is, untouched and unharmed throughout this step.
Not sure why I had to take this mysterious detour - probably something local to my machine, but if you're having trouble after following the guide above, see if it helps.
