How to Install the Apache Web Server on Windows

   1. Double click the downloaded msi for Apache:

   2. Click "Next>" as require.

   3. Next, fill in all the text boxes with the following information:
          * "Network Domain": localhost
          * "Server Name": localhost
          * "Administrator's Email Address": your email address

   4. Make sure the radio button "for all users, on port 80, as a service - recommended" is selected.

   5. On the next window, click the radio button "Custom", and then click "Next>".

   6. On the next window highlight "Apache HTTP Server" and click the "change" button.

   7. We are going to install all the packages and scripts in the folder C:\Server (assuming C: is your main hard drive). So in the text box "Folder name:" type in "C:\Server\". The ending backslash is important.

   8. Click "Install" to begin the installation

   9. Click the "Finish" button.

To check that the software was in fact installed successfully, open your favorite browser and type "http://localhost/" into the address bar and check the apache default page.
