Downloading Installations
-
Download Apache
Download the installations of Apache from httpd.apache.org. Here you have two options either you can download the widely used Apache version 1.3.xx version or relatively new Apache version 2.0.xx. If you are downloading for your company's server, stick to version 1.3.xx. But if your are downloading for your own personal computer, you can download any version.However, if you are downloading version 2.0.xx, download version 2.0.46 or higher, as earlier versions had certain issues while integration with PHP.
Click on Download and download the Windows binary and not the source. The filename would look something like this
apache_1.3.28-win32-x86-no_src.msi
for version 1.3.xx and
apache_2.0.47-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
for version 2.0.xx -
