Instructions on how to install Apache.

[edit] Steps

If you haven't done so already, download the Apache HTTPD Web Server from the Apache web site . Be sure to download the apache_2.2.8-win32-x86-no_ssl MSI installer.
Save the file to your Windows Desktop.
Apache Web Server Install Window

Double click the msi file saved on your Windows Desktop. You will see a window that looks like this:
Click "Next>".
Click the radio button "I accept the terms in the license agreement"
Click "Next>".
On the next window, again click "Next>".
Next, fill in all the text boxes with the following information:
1. "Network Domain": localhost
2. "Server Name": localhost
3. "Administrator?s Email Address": your email address
Make sure the radio button "for all users, on port 80, as a service - recommended" is selected.
Click "Next>".
On the next window, click the radio button "Custom", and then click "Next>".
On the next window highlight "Apache HTTP Server" and click the "change" button.
We are going to install all the packages and scripts in the folder C:\Server\Apache2\ (assuming C: is your main hard drive). So in the text box "Folder name:" type in "C:\Server\Apache2\". The ending backslash is important.
After you have typed in the path, click "OK" and then click "Next>". At this point, you should see a window that looks like this:

Apache Ready to Install
Click "Install" to begin the installation.
Once the Apache installation software has finished installing all the files on your computer, you will see a final window letting you know the installation was a success. Click the "Finish" button.
