The options that you will modify are to tell Apache where to look for the
web files. There are two options that need to be changed to do this. The
first is the
DocumentRoot
. Change the
DocumentRoot
from
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software
Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
to
DocumentRoot "C:/ www"
where
c:/www
points to a directory on your local machine. Apache is case-
sensitive, so ensure that the
DocumentRoot
directory option has the same
case as the directory on your file system. Apache also uses forward slashes
(/) instead of back slashes (\) when referencing directories. Please note
that the original
DocumentRoot
value may be different depending on you
installation options.
