How to change Oracle forms and reports standalone configuration for custom directory???

Recently i encountered one issue to configure Oracle Forms and Reports Standalone to point to custom directory.

Below is the solution for that

Got to httpd.conf file which is located in ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf directory.

Before changing anything in httpd.conf, take backup of httpd.conf.

Change DocumentRoot value to your directory as shown below

DocumentRoot "your custom directory"
