Could be this:

Syntax error on line 179 of C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf:
DocumentRoot takes one argument, Root directory of the document tree

Can you post that line (and a few either side)?

any quicker way of getting to line 179 then just counting all the lines up too it?

Open in Notepad & Ctrl + G

this is lines 174 - 180

#
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs"
DocumentRoot "C:/Administrator/My Musi

Click to expand...

line 179 is exactly :

DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs"

Click to expand...

Looks like you didn't comment out the old DocumentRoot by adding a hash in front.


CHANGE TO:
You can remove the commented line all together if you want.

Code:

Code:

#DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
DocumentRoot "C:/Administrator/My Music"
