I have found the cause of the problem. It is not in the settings in the conf
files, but the way that the server is fired up. I have left the conf files as
before (i.e. no trailing slash):
Alias /droot/ d:
Alias /croot/ c:
<Directory D:/>
allow from all
Options Indexes
</Directory>
<Directory C:/>
allow from all
Options Indexes
</Directory>
However, I made a simple change to the way in which the server is invoked from
the Windows icon: the "Start in" property was set to "D:\apache" by default,
and
I changed it to "D:\".
Everything is now working as expected.
