Dumb Apache Question

Is there a quick way to move the htdocs directory from its default location for the Apache 1.3.x HTTP server? I've just spent five minutes searching for this information and haven't been able to find it. Thanks.

Sorry, when I say a quick way I mean a configuration setting - I don't want to have to build it from source.

There should be a DocumentRoot option in your httpd.conf.

Unless you have some virtual hosts configured, that DocumentRoot should be it.

Lol, I guess you can't just press F1.

You can press F1 if you want.  One most systems it will get you help, but it won't be on Apache, but instead the editor or terminal you are using.

Normally on a Unix system, it goes something like this:
"Hmm... It seems $random_software serves files out of /usr/local/software/htdocs, I'd prefer /var/htdocs. Let's see:
$ grep /htdocs /usr/local/software/conf/*
software.conf: ServeFilesFrom $ROOT/htdocs
$ vi /usr/local/etc/software.conf
search for ^Serve, write & quit, HUP the daemon, ready."
