Note: This article takes the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.6 as an example. About the specific installation of the Apache HTTP server 2.2.6 I'm not going to say this, if you really want to know or want to get the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.6 installer, you can email me, My e-mail is hyiyun@139.com.

first, modify Apache the default Site directory

When Apache HTTP server is installed, the default site directory is located in the Htdocs folder under its installation directory, and the default first page is the index.html file for that folder. For example, my Apache is installed in the C:/Program files/apache Software foundation/apache2.2/, then my Apache's complete default Site Directory address is C:/Program files/ Apache Software foundation/apache2.2/htdocs/, the default home page is C:/Program files/apache Software foundation/apache2.2/htdocs/ Index.html.

Many times, whether it is learning, testing, or to really build their own site, we may not want to put their own site in the Apache default site directory, at this time, this section of knowledge will help you solve this problem.
