Apache setup on Windows
Apache setup on Windows
This tutorial describes how to setup Apache on Windows (tested with Apache 2.0.58 on Windows XP Professional).
Note that this tutorial does NOT include how to setup a SSL-based web server (i.e. https), so it is not recommended for production use.

Install

Download the precompiled Windows version of Apache from http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/.
Select the apache_XXX-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi you would like to use (at the time of this writing, the available versions are 1.3.35, 2.0.58, and 2.2.2).
Double-click the downloaded .msi file as any other installation procedure, just fill in the domain name, server name and your email address.
On Windows, the installation creates a short cut in the Start Menu to Apache, both to configuration, control, and documentation.

Troubleshoot

On Windows XP Professional, I got a couple of Command Prompt popup windows during the installation, showing the following error message:
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. :
make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
When I tried to restart Apache (using the Start Menu shortcut), I got the following error message:
No installed service named "Apache2"

Fix for this problem:
  1. Modify httpd.conf (accessible from the Start Menu shortcut):
    Change the line
    Listen 80
    to
    Listen 127.0.0.1:80

  2. Install the Apache2 service manually from the command prompt:

        "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin\apache" -k install -n "Apache2"
This should be sufficient to get Apache up and running on Windows.
Just configure Apache as you do on any UNIX system, that is, edit the httpd.conf file.
