I've installed Apache 2.2 as a manual server (ie, I have to open the
httpd.exe command window to use it) on Win XP Pro. The installation
works fine when I visit:

http://localhost:8080

However, I am now trying to change my htdocs root, because I keep all
my data one the E:\ partition of my HD. I have changed the following 2
lines in my httpd.conf file:

DocumentRoot E:/Documents/htdocs/bj

(I have tried the line above both with and without quotes)

<Directory "e:/documents/htdocs/bj">

I then close the httpd.exe window and reopen it -- to restart apache.

However, Apache still serves the file from the default htdocs
directory, rather than the file in "E:/Documents/htdocs/bj"

What am I still missing?

Thanks,
cpp

Yep. And I tried it on different browsers. Anything else?
