Apache Friends Support Forum

I'm currently attempt to upgrade my XAMPP installation and I cannot figure out how to send switches to Apache. My old version of XAMPP was started like so:

apache\bin\apache.exe -D local

but the latest version of XAMPP uses xampp_cli.exe (apache.exe is missing completely) and it will not accept the " -D local" option.

Thanks JonB. Although that ref doesn't specifically mention the -D option it does work.
