I would like to change the DocumentRoot in httpd.conf to a different location where I've been serving files for years, and I can successfully do so. Yet, if I use the php switch feature to go from PHP 4 to PHP 5, the httpd.conf file is rewritten with the default installation value.

How can I prevent this from happening, so that I can switch between the two versions (a VERY cool feature, by the way) without my DocumentRoot getting changed?

Thanks! Love XAMPP!!!

Okay, I've discovered something. The httpd.conf file is preserved for the version of PHP that is switched to. For example, I modified the httpd.conf file with the new DocumentRoot path while in PHP 4, then switched to PHP 5 and the path reverted. When I switched back to PHP 4, my modified path re-appeared.

I haven't figured out where the different versions of the httpd.conf files are being stored, so I guess I'll just change the DocumentRoot path in both version and I **should** be okay. I would like to understand how this is being done, though, just to better understand XAMPP.
