Look in your apache confuguration file (httpd.conf) for the DocumentRoot setting.

Try Joe's suggestion. If you still can't find it, I would suggest right clicking on of the pictures of the default page, get the picture filename and try searching for it.

Ok.

If you installed Apache on Windows, by default the root document dir is C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs or C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs, based on what version you are running.

I have been using Apache 1.3.x under Windows for a long time for my site (endeavour.zapto.org) and I have found it both slow and incredibly stable. I have found Apache 2.0.49 (the only 2.0.x I have used under Windows) to be very fast and rather unstable. If you want me to send you my config files and other details, PM me.

Good luck Apache-ing.

look for a folder called htdocs, possibly in c:\apache\ .. assuming thats where you installed it.

Oh Jesus.

I was about to help you 'cause I figured it was on your Mac. But XP...erp.

Good luck
