Question

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.
