I am trying to use an Apache (only localhost). When I do apachectl configtest I get the following response:

AH00526: Syntax error on line 238 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: <Directory> directive requires additional arguments

The corresponding part of the httpd.conf file is

DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents/ <Directory /> Options Indexes SymLinks MultiviewsMatch Any AllowOverride None Require all granted </Directory>

I consulted several forums / the Apache documentation but I cannot see the mistake. Does anybody know how to solve this?

What is the idea of using ~ in http.conf?. Assuming you meant a user home directory: apache http.conf is not a bash script so expanding will not happen. You need either absolute paths or a relative path to the apache root.
