We will assume that you have installed all the latest available updates for your version of Windows. If not, it is critical to do so now to avoid unexpected issues. These instructions are specifically adapted from the directions provided by ApacheHaus where we obtained the binary package.
Before installing Apache, we first need to install the below package. Once it has been installed, it is often a good idea to restart the system to ensure any remaining changes requiring a restart are completed. Step 1. Extract the compressed Apache download.
This is the location we will be using for these instructions. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Run the program httpd. Step 5. You will likely notice a dialogue box from the Windows Firewall noting that some features are being blocked. If everything is working properly, you should see the ApacheHaus' test page.
Now that we have confirmed the Apache server is working and shut it down, we are ready to install Apache as a system service. In your Command Prompt window, enter or paste the following command:. Restart your server and open a web browser once you are logged back in. To allow connections from the Internet to your new web server, you will need to configure a Windows Firewall rule to do so.

Apache for Windows contains the ability to load modules at runtime, without recompiling the server.
To activate these or other modules, the LoadModule directive must be used. For example, to activate the status module, use the following in addition to the status-activating directives in access. Information on creating loadable modules is also available.
More information is available. When running CGI scripts, the method Apache uses to find the interpreter for the script is configurable using the ScriptInterpreterSource directive.
Since it is often difficult to manage files with names like. This mechanism acts as a backup for those situations where Apache is not yet prepared to use the error. Apache comes with a utility called the Apache Service Monitor. With it you can see and manage the state of all installed Apache services on any machine on your network. To be able to manage an Apache service with the monitor, you have to first install the service either automatically via the installation or manually. You can install Apache as a Windows NT service as follows from the command prompt at the Apache bin subdirectory:.
If you need to specify the name of the service you want to install, use the following command. You have to do this if you have several different service installations of Apache on your computer.
If you specify a name during the install, you have to also specify it during any other -k operation. If you need to have specifically named configuration files for different services, you must use this:.
If you use the first command without any special parameters except -k install , the service will be called Apache2. Before starting Apache as a service by any means, you should test the service's configuration file by using:. You can control an Apache service by its command line switches, too.

If you allow the account to log in as a user and as a service, then you can log on with that account and test that the account has the privileges to execute the scripts, read the web pages, and that you can start Apache in a console window. If this works, and you have followed the steps above, Apache should execute as a service with no problems.
When starting Apache as a service you may encounter an error message from the Windows Service Control Manager. For example, if you try to start Apache by using the Services applet in the Windows Control Panel, you may get the following message:.

If you are having problems with the service, it is suggested you follow the instructions below to try starting httpd.
Running Apache as a service is usually the recommended way to use it, but it is sometimes easier to work from the command line, especially during initial configuration and testing. This will open a console window and start Apache inside it. If you don't have Apache installed as a service, the window will remain visible until you stop Apache by pressing Control-C in the console window where Apache is running in.
The server will exit in a few seconds.
