--- Comment #4 from Rich Bowen <rbowen@apache.org> 2011-07-12 13:17:18 UTC ---
"/" is not a relative path. It's an absolute path, even on Windows. On Windows,
"/" means "the root of whatever drive your ServerRoot is on", while you need to
specify the drive letter "D:/" when you mean "a different drive from my
ServerRoot."

As for ServerRoot, if you don't specify it in the configuration file, it
defaults to what was provided at build time, if anything, or to the
per-platform default value. In the case of Windows, this is C:/apache2

I'll take a look at the docs referred to, but what you are describing seems to
be completely consistent with the documentation you are quoting.

If you have a specific suggestion as to how we could make this clearer, please
feel free to share that with us.
