The file root directory of Apache HTTP Server (documentroot)

How to set the file root directory (documentroot) for Apache HTTP Server.

When Apache is installed, the system is given a default file root directory.

If you think it is inconvenient to have a Web page in this default directory, think that you should set up another directory as the Apache file root directory, you can modify the Apache configuration file httpd.conf about the file root directory settings.

The default file root directory (documentroot) for Apache HTTP Server is:

DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/apache Software Foundation/apache2.2/htdocs"
The operations for modifying the Apache file root (documentroot) are as follows:

. Save configuration file http.conf. > All.

1. In order to avoid modification errors, please back up your Apache profile httpd.conf, the path to this configuration file is:

C:/Program Files/apache Software foundation/apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf
2. Open the http.conf file and find the line that starts with DocumentRoot, which will

DocumentRoot"C:/Program Files/apache Software Foundation/apache2.2/htdocs"
Change to a new documentroot path, such as your new path to C:/htdocs, and change it to

DocumentRoot "C:/htdocs"
3. Then find the following content in the http.conf file

# This should is changed to whatever your set DocumentRoot to.#
<directory "C:/Program files/apache Software Foundation/apache2.2/htdocs" >
Change the path in diectory to your new file root directory, for example:

<directory"C:/htdocs" >
4. Save the configuration file http.conf.

5. After the configuration file has been modified, the Apache Service should be restarted. (Start--> all Programs--> Apache HTTP Server 2.2--> Monitor Apache Servers--> restart)

After you have modified the file root directory, you can store your Web page in the new directory.
