Re: DocumentRoot doesn't exist (but it's giving the wrong name)

[Osman Zakir <osmanzakir90@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

So it's in the vhosts.conf file?  

By the way, I sent another email earlier that hasn't had a reply yet -- did I ask a stupid or maybe a too-simple question and that's why no one's replied yet?  I don't mean to whine, I'm just asking.

Hi,

‘Dummy-host.example.com’ is in your Virtual Host Conf as a default example and apache is trying to find it and of course can’t so won’t run. You can either change, comment out or don’t include virtual hosts.

Regards,

I downloaded Apache 2.4.33 (I had 2.4.29 until now, so I just upgraded) and tried to start it, but I got a warning saying: "DocumentRoot[C:/Apache24/docs/dummy-host.example.com] does not exist". But in my httpd.conf file, DocumentRoot is set to ServerRoot/htdocs.  And when I try to go to localhost, I get a 403 Forbidden error.  I have attached my configuration file here.
