在httpd.conf中更改了DocumentRoot，$ _ SERVER ['DOCUMENT_ROOT']仍然相同

Question

So I changed DocumentRoot in my httpd.conf files and $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] still seems to be the same on XAMPP. I've restarted the server and the problem still persists. I've change DocumentRoot before from the original xampp/htdocs folder and it worked fine. Any clues?

Answer 1

Note the DOCUMENT_ROOT for PHP might not be the same as of Apache. DOCUMENT_ROOT is where the PHP file is located. This could be on Document root or through a different directory.

Answer 2

There's another line in the httpd.conf file that needs changing. In my file it was about 30 lines below the DocumentRoot setting. I found it thanks to the preceding comment line

# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.

<Directory "C:/work/htdocs">

I just moved the whole htdocs directory so I also had to change a line in the httpd-xampp.conf file as well.

<Directory "C:/work/htdocs/xampp">
