WampServer

Hi,
I just installed 3.0.4 and have problems changing documentroot: I click in the wamp GUI Apache->httpd.config and change row 251 to

DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Username/Desktop/WWW/"
<Directory "C:/Users/Username/Desktop/WWW/">

I have restarted wamp several times, but wamp is still serving from c/wamp/www

What I want to achieve is that I can put my projects in the folder mentioned above and when I call localhost I see them all.

Hi,

In httpd.conf,
- ServerRoot
- ServerName
- DocumentRoot
- <Directory ...
should NEVER be changed

You must use VirtualHost for your local sites (projects) : The need for Virtual Host

I had a lot of difficultuy with setting up VirtualHost, until I used FF instead of Edge. When testing the virtual hosts on Edge they just don't work ("Leider können wir nicht auf diese Seite zugreifen.", something like "We can't acces this page" ), in FF they do work fine.

I think you will find the reason and solution to the Edge issue here [forum.wampserver.com]
