How to install Httpd on windows?


Step 1:  Download the windows version of the httpd from the official site. http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi.   

The file that I downloaded was httpd-2.2.21-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi

Step 2: Run .msi file which will open a wizard. Follow the instructions given in the wizard to complete the installation.


Step 3: Once it is successfully installed, the Apache Service Monitor icon will be shown on the windows task bar. Use this to monitor the httpd server status.



Step 4: By default the httpd runs on port 80. Try this URL http://localhost:80 on the browser to verify the installation.
