Error changing documentroot (probably simple, I'm new to this)

Okay, I've recently installed apache to my laptop (Windows Vista). This is the first time I've tried anything like this and I don't have much knowledge with apache or computers overall, however I'm doing this to learn.

When setting it up I followed the installation process and as I tried to change the documentroot through the httpd file it won't work. It says "Cannot create C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache 2.2\conf\httpd.conf file. Make sure that the file path and name are correct."

What am I doing wrong?

@Donohujs
guessing from unix I think you need admin/root priviledge to change that file.

How can I change the settings to get the right privillages, if that's the issue?

unfortunately I have no idea how to do that in Vista. (I’m using Mac)

I guess my first question would be, do you have Vista 64 bit or 32? If its 64 bit, make sure that the apache structure referenced is under "Program Files" as it shows here. I say this as mine is 64 bit and its under "Program Files (x86)" because its a 32 bit program.

Regards,

Jeff
