How do I redirect the local host from c:xampp/htdocs to c:/sites using window version of xampp?

Hi Jaya,

I'm using Windows/Xampp myself but I opted to keep everything in the "htdocs" folder so I haven't personally tried this.

I did find these links which should get you going:

You'll need to edit the 'httpd.conf' file. You may want to make a backup of this file in case things get messed up when you edit.

An easy way to get to the file is to open up your xammp control panel and then click the "config" button for apache. You should then have a menu option to select that file.

It opens up in notepad for me. Once open you can use the find command from the edit menu to search for "DocumentRoot"

Thanks! That was super straightforward and really did the trick :)
