Installing Apache

First of all you need to install Apache. You can get a binary installation file from http://apache.roweboat.net/httpd/binaries/win32/apache_2.0.48-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
Once you have downloaded the installation file, run it. During the installation process, it asks you for the following:
== The Installation Path ==
Chose a partition drive (if you have different drives on the same computer), let us say, C:.
== Network Domain ==
If you are installing (which I guess is the case for the time being) Apache for learning purpose, it doesn't really matter what you type here. Just enter yourname.com.
== Server Name ==
Enter www.yourname.com
== Administrator's Email Address ==
Enter you@yourname.com.
== For Whom To Install Apache ==
Select "For All Users". You need to run Apache as a service in order to make it show your pages. If you select the other option, you may have to start the service whenever you have to use Apache for development and learning purposes.
== The Installation Type ==
Select "Custom" and then let it install all the things mentioned in the list.
That's it. If no catastrophe has occurred yet, Apache should be installed on your computer. Assuming you chose the c drive, the path of the program should be: c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2.
