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.

Answer 2

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
