change the DocumentRoot directory in Apache 2?

[BigToque]

I've just installed Apache 2 and PHP 5 so I could test PHP scripts before uploading them to my server (it's just more convenient)... I've changed the document root in the httpd.conf file but it still points to the default /htdocs folder.

What else do I need to change?

Did you restart the apache server after updating the httpd.conf file? The server only loads the file when it's first told to run, so if you make any changes to the conf file while the server is actually running, you have to restart the server for those changes to take effect.

Thank you very much
