The following was obtained from http://wordpress.org/support/topic/57254
You have to tell apache where to find server root and doc root - in the httpd.conf which is found in the xampp\apache\conf folder. MAKE A BACKUP OF IT before you edit it!
(I should have said above that the only changes I made to httpd.conf were server root and document root - sorry for that bit of misinfo....)
About line 57, find:
ServerRoot "0:/apache" [this is what my default one shows, yours may vary]
Change this to read:
ServerRoot "wherever apache is installed" [in my case, this is ServerRoot "c:/"]
Around line 228 find:
DocumentRoot "O:/apache/htdocs" [same caveat entered above]
Change it to read:
DocumentRoot "entire path to wherever your htdocs is" [mine reads DocumentRoot "e:/AWebsites" - as I said, I'm not "normal", but fortunately apache doesn't care....]
