How to change the default website directory in wampserver_php example

Anyone who has developed PHP projects knows that most of them use wampserver. Next, I will share with you how to change the default website directory with wampserver.

There are three files that need to be modified:

apache2 configuration file httpd.conf and Wampserver configuration file wampmanager.ini and wampmanager.tpl

where httpd.conf can be found in the installation directory: binapacheapache2.x.xxconfhttpd.conf or click directly in the wamp software

Open the configuration file and change two places to the specified directory

The directory in the configuration file has been changed, but this is not enough because Wampserver is an integrated installation, so there are also configuration files that need to be modified in the Wampserver configuration file

Find it in the directory where Wampserver is installed

wampmanager.ini

wampmanager.tpl

Open and find

wampmanager.ini:

Type: item; Caption: "www directory"; Action: shellexecute; FileName: "F:www"; Glyph: 2wampmanager.tpl: Type: item; Caption: "${w_wwwDirectory}"; Action : shellexecute; FileName: "F:www"; Glyph: 2

Among them, F:www is my directory specified by me. You can make your own and modify it to your own.

Then restart Wampserver and it will be ok

Finally, if you use the original index.php, you will get an error

The reason is that the Wampserver configuration file referenced in this php is a relative path

So if you still want to use the original one, then change it to your corresponding absolute path or don’t use this

Let me explain it in words with the help of an example

Assume the following:
Wamp version: 2.1
WAMP2.0 installation directory: C:/
www directory: C:/wamp/www/
Change directory: E:/phproot/

1 Main process:

(1) Modify C:wampbinapacheApache2.2.17conf httpd.conf (to change the default website path, that is, direct Http://localhost to its own default directory: E:/phproot/)

(2) Copy and modify index.php (so that index.php in the new default website path can be displayed normally. If you do not need Index.php, you can skip this step)

(3) Modify C:wampwampmanager.ini and C:wampwampmanager.tpl (change the "www directory" pointer in the menu)

2 The whole process of specific modification method:

Step 1: Modify C:wampbinapacheApache2.2.17conf httpd.conf

Find: DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/"

Modify: DocumentRoot "e:/phproot/"

Find:

Modify:

Step 2: Copy and modify index.php

(1) Copy:

Copy C:/wamp/www/ to e:/phproot

(2) Search:

//chemin jusqu'au fichier de conf de WampServer

$wampConfFile = '../wampmanager.conf';

//chemin jusqu'aux fichiers alias

$aliasDir = '../alias/';

(3) Modification:

//chemin jusqu'au fichier de conf de WampServer

$wampConfFile = 'c:/wamp/wampmanager.conf';

​​​​ //chemin jusqu'aux fichiers alias

$aliasDir = 'c:/wamp/alias/';

Step 3: Modify wampmanager.ini and wampmanager.tpl

1 Modify C:wampwampmanager.ini:

(1) Open: C:wampwampmanager.ini

(2) Search: Type: item; Caption: "www directory"; Action: shellexecute; FileName: "c:/wamp/www/"; Glyph: 2

(3) Modification: Type: item; Caption: "www directory"; Action: shellexecute; FileName: "e:/phproot/"; Glyph: 2

2 Modify C:wampwampmanager.tpl:

(1) Open: C:wampwampmanager.tpl

(2) Search: Type: item; Caption: "${w_wwwDirectory}"; Action: shellexecute; FileName: "${wwwdir}"; Glyph: 2

(3) Modification: Type: item; Caption: "${w_wwwDirectory}"; Action: shellexecute; FileName: "e:/phproot"; Glyph: 2

Complete all steps, save the file, and the modification is successful.
