    Apache is the most used web server,from the big hosting company to people hosting only 1 website on a home PC.So,if you want to install it on a Windows platform,keep reading this tutorial.First you have to download Apache , you can find the version we installed for this tutorial at this url http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/  ,Download the file    apache_2.0.59-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi

    1. First step double-click the  file and  windows installer begins the process. Accept default and when the page below appears, if your computer is part of a home or office Network ,type the network name in the first box. In the Server Name type localhost or the computer name or 127.0.0.1.In the last box ,type the server Administrator email address.
    2. The options below are important. If you choose the first,Apache will start automatically when you start the computer .When I installed Apache ,it didn't start the first time and I had to login manually but after that it worked correctly. Apache 2 comes with Apache monitor, which is a small utility located near the clock in the task bar and it's very handy to start and stop the service. If you go for the second option,you'll have to start the service manually every time you need it,from the start menu.

    In this case type http://localhost:8080 in your browser address bar for the Apache Welcome page
