DocumentRoot??

Is there a way, besides using mod_rewrite and changing the
DocumentRoot to have my base url http://localhost or http://localhost/
point to http://localhost/Testing/ ?

Right now using DirectoryIndex I can do http://localhost and it will
go to http://localhosy/Testing/index.php just fine but if I try
http://localhost/testing.php I get a page cannot be found error. I
know I can change my DocumentRoot to achive this but I'd like to leave
it set where it's at so that I can easily go from my testing directory
to my site directory to try to implement something. Am I making sense?
If you need me to explain further let me know. I'm using Apache 2.0.49
or something like that on windows XP Pro with php 5. TIA

The DocumentRoot is the "Root" of your web server. So, it will always
be <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://whatever/" target="_blank">http://whatever/</a> and stop. If you want to have go to a second
directory from there, you can easily put an index.html in the
DocumentRoot with a redirect that will switch you to whatever directory
you want. This won't change the DocumentRoot.

No.
