When I go to C:\Apache24\bin and install apache using httpd -k install, it installs into C:\Program Files.

I am unable to do anything with the war files when this happens, because I always get the error

java.io.IOException: Unable to create the directory

What must I write in the C:\Apache24\httpd.conf file to make it install to C:\Apache Tomcat instead of C:\Program Files?

    Your question is asking about Apache HTTPD, not Apache Tomcat so please clarify what you actually want. However, you don't have to place your war files in `C:\Program Files` at all. – Simon Greenwood Jan 08 '18 at 09:49

First, httpd -k install only installs or registers Apache Httpd (which is not Tomcat) as a Windows service, so it has nothing to do with your problem. You must have installed Tomcat some other way, either using the Windows service installer or by unzipping the installation zip file.

Second, the directory where war files are located is defined in the server.xml:

<Host name="localhost"  appBase="c:\whatever" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

The appBase attribute defines where the server will look and unpack its jar files.
