sudo pico httpd.conf

• Find the place in the file that says DocumentRoot. Comment the current DocumentRoot and substitute the full path to your checked-out copy of the QuickLoad repository:

#DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents" 
DocumentRoot "/Users/username/quickload"

#<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents"> 
<Directory "/Users/username/quickload">
