Install Apache Webserver on Windows

Install the small-sized Apache webserver for testing of Java Applets or other web clients on your Windows computer. Apache is configured by the files in the conf subdirectory. These are the same files used to configure the Unix version, but there are a few different directives for Apache on Windows. The main configuration file is usually called httpd.conf. We recommend to download Apache Server 2.2 installer for Windows (httpd-2.2.25-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi) that is included in the zip folder Apache 2225 (zip folder) that be downloaded here. This package includes two more files: httpd.conf and apache_start.bat. Apache Server 2.2 installer can also be obtained from the archive of the Apache HTTP Server Project.

  1. Install the Apache Webserver on your computer. Accept the default installation path.
  2. During installation you are asked to enter server information:
    Network domain: localhost
    Server Name: localhost
    Administrator's email address: your email address
  3. Copy apache_start.bat into the Apache main directory
    (by default C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache)
  4. Replace the httpd.conf in the Apache subdirectory conf
    (by default C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf) with the file you find in this package. Then check httpd.conf (e.g. open it in the notepad editor) if parameters ServerRoot and DocumentRoot are set to the correct path. In the default case these are:

    ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache"
    DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs"
    Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs"

  5. Connect to the internet.
  6. Start the Webserver with double-click on apache_start.bat
