Modify DocumentRoot in Apache (Mac)

By default, DocumentRoot is located in /usr/local/var/www 1 . Here are the steps to follow to change DocumentRoot to map to a custom directory path: Place your website folder to the desired place.

Error: Keychain System cannot be found to store (Mac)

Then my known network was now being joined automatically like before and the error message was not shown anymore! Fig 1. Select your Mac HD logical drive and run First Aid on it.
