What it should do is open your browser to display
http://whimsy.local/.  What you should see should look like what you
see when you go to https://whimsy.apache.org/

You should have a file on your machine by the name of
/private/etc/apache2/other/whimsy.conf.  In that file you should see:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName whimsy.local

      ## Vhost docroot
     DocumentRoot "/srv/whimsy/www"

This tells Apache httpd to serve requests for http://whimsy.local/
from /srv/whimsy/www.

Later in that file you should see ErrorLog and CustomLog directives.
They tell Apache httpd where to place logs.  These logs will contain
useful information concerning access attempts and errors.
