Apache :: Apache download problems

I found some instructions for Apache. I uninstalled the version I had in order to start from scratch with a fresh installation but this time when I click on the download file I am getting a page with gibberish on it and not the regular download option:

http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

This is the file I am being advised to download:

Win32 Binary without crypto (no mod_ssl) (MSI Installer): apache_2.0.63-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi [PGP] [MD5]

Can anyone try to download this please and tell me if you are having the same problems please?

I am running Vista and need to use Apache to work on the website I am building for my Aunt's charity work before signing with a hosting company.

Why 2.0.63 and not 2.2.11?

that link will give me a randomly selected mirror .. if the mirror was bad .. well

try
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/

Thank you very much, it works. Couple questions if you won't mind please:

1] I don't know what to put for the Network domain and server name fields? I simply want to use Apache to view my site as I build it.

2] When I first opened the interface after installing apache for the first time an Apache "" box appears, is this the correct interface? If so, what do I do to view my html page please?

1. For the time being ... "localhost" for both
2a. Your web browser ... http://localhost
2b. html files go in c:\some-path-to\Apache\htdocs

then

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/
see manual for info on

You guys are great, thank you all very much for the help, it works now but I am still having problems viewing images. I had this problem initially and this is why folks told me to use apache because I would need a web browser to view the images, this is what I am seeing and not the pic itself:

file:///C:/mike's%20docs/websites/church/index.html

any ideas please?

BTW, this is the code I am using:

<html>

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="page.css">
</head>

<body bgcolor="white" text="blue">

<h1> This is My first page </h1>

This is my first web page and I can say anything I want in here - I do that by putting text

or images in the body section - where I'm typing right now Smile

<img src="jesus.jpg" width="150" height="150" alt="Image of Jesus">

span {
font-variant:small-caps;
}

</body>

</html>
