Cant change root in apache 2.x

    I have tried to change the rootdirectory to my own directory but when I do that Apache crashes at start. Since it crashes immedliaty nothing is produced in the error log.

    What I did was that I changed the following in the conf-file.

    DocumentRoot "C:/Program/xampp/htdocs" -> DocumentRoot "C:/myownpath"
    AND
    # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
    <Directory "C:/Program/xampp/htdocs">... ->
    <Directory "C:/myownpath">... (same as above)

    This didnt happen in version 1.x and if I switch back to the original root it works again. What is wrong?


    EDIT:

    The problem seems to be that my path includes the swedish character 'ä'. Does anyone know if I can replace it with some kind of code representing it?
