Hi there,

Can anyone tell me if it's possible and if so how to point to a custom htdocs directory in XAMPP?

Cheers in advance,

Silas

You have to edit the httpd.conf file and change the "DocumentRoot" directive. You can point this to any folder you wish. Make sure that you restart the Apache server after making any changes to this file, otherwise they won't take effect.

Yeah, good idea!

Excellent, cheers Dan.

dontt you have to edit the php.ini file too??

and ive tryed that, it dont work when the dir is in c:\\htdocs or c:\\wwwroot

Won't you explain XDPANEL here for me to learn that?

I didn't think so, I've done it before without editing that file. There is nothing in the php.ini file that has to do with the web root to my knowledge.

Hi Dan, see you here again..

change :
DocumentRoot "F:/xampp/xampp/htdocs"

to
DocumentRoot "C:/htdocs" or DocumentRoot "C:/wwwroot"

Right Dan?

entertaining
signature I've seen...

I wish I had
