SO... because double clicking gives you something foolish like your personal documents tree as current working directory, and not the binaries' path, this is what causes the hassle. In fact you could drop a conf/httpd.conf into your personal documents and settings, and everything would work fine by double-clicking. Sorry - forgotten that it's current path relative and not relative to the path of httpd.exe. And it's a behavior I see no reason to change. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
