I wanted to change the document root of Apache from C:/XAMPP/xampp/htdocs to C:/www

I changed httpd.conf accordingly and its working.

But if i enter http://localhost/ in the browser, it takes me to http://localhost/xampp/splash.php and it gives me a 404

But when i enter httpo://localhost/index.php, it works.

I want this auto-redirection stopped.

and oh, the DocRoot has changed only for http. The https link still takes me to C:/XAMPP/xampp/htdocs

Please tell me how to configure httpd.conf to get it fully working.

Thanks in advance.

Clear your browser cache.

--> ssl.conf

Thanks a lot Wiedmann. Problem solved

You can do like this.
apache/conf/httpd.conf :
If you have www, excel, xampp, ... folders in htdocs, Root is htdocs.

Code: Select all: DocumentRoot "/xampp/htdocs" <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory "/xampp/htdocs"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes ExecCGI AddType text/html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

xampp/htdocs/index.html

Code: Select all: <html> <head> <meta name="author" content="Kai Oswald Seidler, Kay Vogelgesang">  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/www/index.php"> </head> <body bgcolor=#ffffff> </body> </html>

I'd like to remind you that any server installed to OS DRIVE is very dangerous and makes you big headache in future, if computor is hang or sombody try illigal access remotely.

Therfore, mosts of advanced users install any server on D, E,.... Drive.
Take care.
