Topic: Installing Apache on Windows

Hi,
I am new to Apache, i was trying to install apache2.
I am not able to install. Can any one help me out in installing and starting successfully. Install.txt says there should be made some editing, which i am not clear.

thanks,
Chetan

What is the issue when you install it ?

Which distribution you want to install, from Apache Lounge ?

Next time, please give more details, see the forum rules.

I am trying to install httpd-2.2.8-win32-x86-ssl.zip - DE,
I did download and unzipped the file to C:\apache2\Apache2\bin

First, when you double click httpd.exe, is Apache running ?

In the ReadMe:

- Unzip the apache2 folder to c:/apache2

So you must have c:/apache2/bin , c:/apache2/conf etc.

Be sure that you navigate in your dos box to c:/apache2/bin en then httpd.exe -k install

Btw, do not forget to install Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package, see the ReadMe
