Test/tinkering/learning environment on a Win Vista laptop.
Going to [localhost...] gives me this page/code:
<html><body><h1>It works!</h1></body></html>
I have these in httpd.conf:
ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2"
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
I edited C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/index.html to read:
<html><body><h1>Something new</h1></body></html>
I reload the default page in the browser -- still gives me "It works!"
I edited httpd.conf to point to another location on the server, edited the index.html there to something different, then restarted Apache. Same thing.
Seems to me I must have things set up to point to another instance of httpd.conf somewhere -- but why would that be?
Can anyone offer some ideas to help me troubleshoot?
You'll find the working directory is buried deep under /Users/.../Application Data/... somewhere.
It's a "security" issue in Vista, and a right royal pain in the rear.

There will be a way by changing security permissions, but that isn't advisable for any internet-connected Windows machine.
