4). Copy the following text into the Terminal editor that opens, but be sure to change the “username” text to the short name of your user account:

</pre>
<Directory "/Users/username/Sites/">
 Options Indexes MultiViews
 AllowOverride All
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
 </Directory>
<pre>

5). Save and close the editor by pressing Control-O followed by Control-X.
2. put the html file with the code to enable the home screen icon


<html>
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" sizes="114x114" href="aizutv_iphone_icon_retina.png" />
<body>
