I used XAMPP to install Apache, PHP, MySQL.
I then personalized the c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf file thusly:
# DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs" DocumentRoot "C:\Users\edward\Documents\webs" # <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs"> <Directory "C:\Users\edward\Documents\webs">
I now can put websites e.g. here:
C:\Users\edward\Documents\webs\test
which map here:
http://localhost/test/
However, when copied in my own phpmyadmin site here:
C:\Users\edward\Documents\webs\phpmyadmin
I noticed that the URL:
http://localhost/phpmyadmin
still points to:
C:\xampp\phpMyAdmin
Where is this being set and how can I change it so that the URL http://localhost/phpmyadmin maps to C:\Users\edward\Documents\webs\phpmyadmin?
This may help others You will find the lines in your httpd.conf file
# XAMPP specific settings
Include "conf/extra/httpd-xampp.conf"
If you look in the included file "httpd-xampp.conf" you will see the line
Alias /phpmyadmin "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin/" <Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin"> AllowOverride AuthConfig Require all granted </Directory>
Modifying this information in any number of ways (change httpd-xampp.conf, include your own custom conf file, placing a statement after the above statements) should solve your problem
It's because xampp uses an alias for pointing http://localhost/phpmyadmin to xampp's phpmyadmin path
So what you can do is, find Alias /phpmyadmin in your httpd.conf and replace it with Alias /xphpmyadmin or even Alias /phpmyadmin2. If you do this, you will not have conflict with having a phpmyadmin folder in your webs folder.
