I have installed my XAMPP in C drive, normally, I save the file in this location C:\xampp\htdocs and run it as localhost/example.php. If I change my project folder to E:\project\example.php, what are the settings that need to be altered in XAMPP to run the file from other saved location other than C:\?.

You can relocate your project by editing the DocumentRoot entry in XAMPP\apache\conf\httpd.conf. There, you have to replace the line DocumentRoot C:\xampp\htdocs\

With:

DocumentRoot E:\Project\

    If the document root is set to E:/project/, when you type the URL in your browser you have to type : http://localhost/example.php, because the root is not in E:/ is in E:/project –  Sep 12 '12 at 06:39
