Of course, the user can put the files to be accessed to other folders, at this time to modify the Apache settings. Open thehttpd.conf file in the "C:\Program Files\apache software foundation\apache2.2\conf" Directory and find the "DocumentRoot" line , such as:

Modify thepath of "DocumentRoot" to the access path you want to set, and then save the file.

here are two points to note:1,httpd.conf is a text file, can be opened with Notepad. 2. Thepath in "DocumentRoot" uses a slash "/" instead of "\".

Apache Default Connection file name is "index.html", if you want to add additional default connection filename, find the "directoryindex" keyword in the httpd.conf file.

The original settings are as follows:

DirectoryIndex index.html Index.html.var

If you want to support default.php, modify it to the following format:

DirectoryIndex default.php index.html Index.html.var
