it is true indeed and it does not make any difference when within double quotes. I even tried the most stupid scenerii with a backslash at the beginning to avoid interpretation of it as relative. Without success.
Except from that, which I am really hoping for a solution, i am wondering if there is a way in httpd.conf to specify local variables this time since I am using many times the paths and i would like to define it once at the beginning of the file and not to have to change it everywhere.

I actually tried this solution before with %tmp% window env variable, but did not work, nor with %systemroot". I tried to do that for the directive: PidFile %temp%/apache.pid Error message i get is: "fopen: no such file or directory Apache.exe: could not log pid to file /apache/%systemroot%/temp" Major problem: 1. "/apache" is prepended which i do not want, therefore the full path is wrongly interpreted If any answer to that, thanks to let me know.

Any idea how to achieve that?
