Topic: Change Location of Document Root on Windows

[mike]

Hi,

I am running Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) on Windows XP. I am also running PHP/5.2.9.

I am hoping that somebody can advise me on the following:

- I want to change the location of my htdocs folder. I have copied my htdocs folder from:

"C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"

to this:

C:/htdocs

- I have updated the DocumentRoot and Directory path statements in the httpd.conf file as follows:

DocumentRoot "C:/htdocs"

<Directory "C:/htdocs">

- I have restarted Apache.

- I am able to access the index.html file that says "It Works" after entering 127.0.0.1 into my browser's address bar. However I am unable to view any other html files and neither am I able to view my php sites on localhost unless I change the aforementioned path statements back to the original htdocs path.

My Questions are:

Are there any other settings within the httpd.conf file that must be changed to reflect the new location of htdocs besides the DocumentRoot and <Directory> paths

Do I have to make any changes anywhere else for PHP scripts (located at the new location) to work, such as Windows "Environment Variable" Path statements, etc...

I would be most appreciative for some advice?

Many Thanks.

Regards.
Mike

In the .zip I read:

... change in httpd.conf the Documenroot, Directories, ScriptAlias, also when you use the extra folder config file(s)change to your location there... Just search in all your conf files, where to change.
