How to change the document root in XAMPP on windows ?

I have installed XAMPP in C drive on my windows. Today I thought I will move my installation to another directory.

After searching the web for couple of minutes, I got a solution that worked perfectly. Here are the steps you have to follow.

1. Open the file httpd.conf from the location C:/xampp/apache/conf
2. Search for DocumentRoot and you will get something like this
   

   DocumentRoot “C:/xampp/htdocs”

3. Update the DocumentRoot to new location. For example, if you want to update the DocumentRoot to D:/www , then you will have the following line after updating the location
   

   DocumentRoot  “D:/www”

4. Then find the Directory and you will fine something similar to
   

   <Directory “C:/xampp/htdocs”>

5. Update it to new location like this
   

   <Directory “D:/www”>

6. Then finally restart the Apache server using XAMPP control panel or manually.

That’s it, you are done. The DocumentRoot has been moved to new place successfully.
