relocate apache's configuration files

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

Solution

  • 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.
