WampServer

Hello, i installed wamp5 and put everything to basic so my www directory is at C:\wamp\www how can I change this to another folder on a difrent HDD. I want to choose a map on my D: drive but how do I change the folder?

I am wondering about this myself. I have found a kind of hack i do to change the directory. in the task bar click on the wamp5 icon go to config files and open httpd.conf.
look around in two places it will mention your current directory. Change those to where ever you want your directory to be. i usually change it to the folder of whatever site i'm working on. saves a lot of time I used to spent uploading to the "test server".


DocumentRoot "C:\Documents and Settings\random\My Documents\websites\graveyardshift.ca"

<Directory "C:\Documents and Settings\random\My Documents\websites\graveyardshift.ca">

these must be the same and point to a folder that exists. Otherwise the server will not start.



gyswebdesign.com, graveyardshift.ca

I've changed httpd.conf to change the WWW directory.

Look for: DocumentRoot "C:/WAMP/www"
But don't forget to also change: <Directory "C:/WAMP/www">
otherwise you will loose access rights.

if you want to change the document root you need to edit two settings in the httpd.conf file (c:\wamp\apache2\conf\httd.conf)

find:
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www"

change to
DocumentRoot "D:\some\new\location"

then find:
<Directory "C:/wamp/www">

change to
<Directory "D:\some\new\location">

save the file and restart apache for the new settings to take effect.
