Hi there
I am migrating to a new laptop, and installed XAMPP/Windows XP Pro.
I have 50 or so sites/web apps/projects on my hard drive. All the source for these projects is located within their own directory under c:/mjk, or - for example, "c:/mjk/project_name/htdocs"
On my old laptop, I would simply open my httpd.conf, and I had multiple (commented) lines setting the DocumentRoot variable to point to the proper directory.
So, let's say I want to work on "my_project"
I would just open httpd.conf, comment out the existing DocumentRoot, and uncomment this line:
#DocumentRoot "C:/mjk/my_project/htdocs"
And restart Apache. Done.
Why can't I do this on XAMPP?
Now, running XAMPP, whenever I change the DocumentRoot variable, I get this error: "503 Forbidden". In my error.log I get this: "client denied by server configuration: C:/mjk/my_project/htdocs"
Can someone please help. This is absolutely maddening - something so simple on my old laptop is now just plain broken.
