i have formatted my PC (with windows 10 pro 64 bit) and reinstalled apache 2.4.17 and PHP 5.6.15. But from the line command when i give a "httpd -k install" i receive the error

"httpd: Syntax error on line 37 of C:/Server/Apache/conf/httpd.conf: ServerRoot must be a valid directory"

in the line 37 of httpd.conf i put

ServerRoot "C:/Server/Apache"

so why httpd.conf don't find this directory????

Apache installed in C:/Server/Apache ?

In the inluded readme:

- Unzip the Apache24 folder to c:/Apache24 (that is the ServerRoot in the config).
Default folder for your your webpages is DocumentRoot "c:/Apache24/htdocs"

When you unzip to an other location, change ServerRoot in the httpd.conf,
and change in httpd.conf the Documenroot, Directories, ScriptAlias,
also when you use the extra folder config file(s) change to your location there.
