Completely change default WWW directory into new? [Solved]

Postby l19980623 » 16. July 2012 05:02

Hello there
I want to change the default WWW directory into new one instead, and I found
The main directory for all WWW documents is \xampp\htdocs.

on the FAQ site.But it isn't convenient enough for me, and I want to change this into
Code: Select all
K:\wordpress

OK, then I tried to edit some code in \xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf, but it doesn't work.
So what should I do :?:

DocumentRoot "/xampp/htdocs"


The problem with that approach is that other things you may want will no longer work.

Creating an 'Alias' might be a better idea
