How do I change my PhpMyadmin Directory?

phpmyadmin is not in my htdocs folder, it is outside the htdocs folder so I do not know how it is accessed in the first place. Which config file would I alter to change the name of my phpmyadmin folder name in XAMPP? I searched php.ini and httpd.conf for any reference to phpmyadmin but was unable to locate it. I would like to rename the phpmyadmin location because I have just noticed a vulnerability scan in my logs which scans that directory, if I am able to change the directory I can prevent unwanted security breaches. I am using WinXP and XAMPP webserver.How do I change my PhpMyadmin Directory?
Try looking in lines 30 and 31 of

Drive:\xampp\apache\conf\extra

\httpd-xampp.conf



Just a tip:

I used Easy Apache. It lets me create multiple web folder and run them almost simultaneous in different IE tab.



You can put your different folders containing different web applications, assign an Alias on Easy Apache control panel and you can run it whenever you want. You can put your web folders in drive C or drive D, or even on your USB stick. It doesn't matter where it is. Just search for it on the net and download it



I also used Apache Lite- a portable run-and-forget web server. No need to install. get it here: http://itblog.tourwithher.net/ and click the download button link
