Problem with Changing root directory in localhost using WAMP server
You can configure Apache using the “ httpd.conf ” file
To get to httpd.conf file just click on the wamp icon then go to config files and select httpd.conf.
After you follow these steps:
Look for the document root in the file.
Find a line that looks like DocumentRoot “C:/Program Files/wamp/www/”.
Change that line to: DocumentRoot “C:UsersBillyDocuments/”
Look again as above you’ll find another line like: <Directory “C:/Program Files/wamp/www/”>.
Change it to: <Directory “C:UsersBillyDocuments/”
Now save the file and restart your server to make the changes in action.
