after changing documentroot, xampp still using default phpmyadmin

Question

I used XAMPP to install Apache, PHP, MySQL.

I then personalized the c:\\xampp\\apache\\conf\\httpd.conf file thusly:

# DocumentRoot \"C:         


        

Answer 1

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.
