Hi I’m newbie so please bear with me...
I am currently running Apache2.2/PHP5 on my Windows PC as a testing server. I was (until recently) also running a second testing server over a local network, which was also configured for Apache/PHP. Unfortunately, this machine is no longer configured as a testing server.
Non-secure work files will still remain on this server. Therefore, is it possible to specify two different test areas from within my local version of Apache, one on my local machine (for secure work) and one on the local network?
I know I can stop Apache, swap over ‘DocumentRoot’ and ‘Directory’ and restart it again but it would be very useful to be able to access both without doing this.
I hope someone can help?

If you run apache as service you can change the httpd.conf without stopping apache and than just restart it with the changed config file. Apache parses the config file at startup / restart, but than you can do what ever you want to do with that file.
e.g.
| Code: |
C:\apache2\bin\httpd -k start
|
maybe you check the correct syntax before restarting with
| Code: |
C:\apache2\bin\httpd -S
|
