Every new install or update gives me a new frustrating experience configuring Apache and file permissions! That's why I'm still on Snow Leopard! And another thing... I'm the sole user and have file sharing off and logged into the computer... I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ENTER A PASSWORD FOR EVERY FILE MOVE! and have to reset file permissions to folders that already have RW permissions! It's funny though... without the internet computers are pretty much useless and I'm sure they would not sell as many without the internet!!! They are backing away from the internet because they can't control it like their APP store that they make many many millions on!
