In the WAMPServer icon in the Windows tray, go to the Apache section and select ht-
tpd.conf. This will open Apache's config file in Notepad. You can do the same thing in
XAMP as well.
Once we have the file open we are going to want to make a few modifications. The first is to
change the port number. I do this in order to avoid any conflicts if you are running other
servers like Node.js or Ruby. I use port 8888, but you can set it up to something else. Search
for:
Listen 80
in the .conf file and change it to:
Listen 8888
Next, we are going to search for:
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/"
This is WAMP's default setup. Change it to the path where you plan on doing your own de-
velopment. On my computer it is going to be:
DocumentRoot "C:\Users\Jesse\SkyDrive\Development"
Now we need to make one more modification. Search for:
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
Change it to your development path just like we did before. Here is how it looks for my com-
puter:
<Directory "C:\Users\Jesse\SkyDrive\Development">
After you have made these changes we will need to restart Apache (
Figure 8-4
).
