relocate apache's configuration files

Question

Hi, is there a chance to use different location for apache's config files (on Windows)? Other than having to compile it myself and setting the proper #define HTTPD_ROOT value.

Thx rezna

Answer 1

This can be done by specifying the -f option when installing apache as a service on Windows.

The -f option accepts the location of the configuration file. For example, if your command to install the service was

httpd.exe -k install -n "MyServiceName"

Add -f "c:\files\my.conf", with your configuration file instead, like so:

httpd.exe -k install -n "MyServiceName" -f "c:\files\my.conf"

See the Apache manual for more information.
