Tx for your answer. I actually tried this solution before with %tmp% window env variable, but did not work, nor with %systemroot". I tried to do that for the directive: PidFile %temp%/apache.pid Error message i get is: "fopen: no such file or directory Apache.exe: could not log pid to file /apache/%systemroot%/temp" Major problem: 1. "/apache" is prepended which i do not want, therefore the full path is wrongly interpreted If any answer to that, thanks to let me know.
