I recently installed Appache on my new Vista system. Under XP, I edited =
the httpd.conf file to point the localhost to another directory. Under =
Vista, I edited the file, changed the pointers, but the server still =
points to the Appache default. When I open the file in a text editor, I =
see my changes, but when I open the file using Appache's editor, my =
changes are not there, yet all indications tell me I am in the same file =
in the same directory structure using both editors. How can get this to =
change and point to my directory?

there's a filesystem redirection that occurs when you install into
e.g. program files and edit as non-admin. I think the solution is to
edit as an admin or keep your conf outside of that admin-only area.

Re: Appahe and Vista

Thanks for the quick response. I opened NotePad as Admin and was able to
update the conf successfully and all is working as planned.
Funny though, when I edit the file NOT as an admin, it shows the updated
file without the Admin changes, but editing it as Admin, it looks OK. Vista,
gotta love it.
