[SOLVED] Apache - I am lost - what do I download to run with WINXP


Recommended Posts

I went over to Apache and tried to figure out what to download from the Mirror site but I am lost.  I want to set up localhost Apache services on a WinXP Pro installation. I do not have IIS running.

 

I had Apache 2.0 setup before, but my system crashed and burned.

 

What do I need to download now to get an Apache install? 

 

Thanks!

You can download apache from the apache web site, however do not start the server until you got the configuration right... you will have to run it on a different port since IIS will be running on port 80

You actually want the "other files" link (the file you got is the source not the complied Windows binary) then select the binaries folder and the win32 folder -

 

http://apache.mirrors.hoobly.com/httpd/binaries/win32/

 

Then download the .msi installer version that you want.

Wow - thanks for catching that.  So what version should I want?

 

What are the differences between these and what is the normal one to choose?  I am mainly just using it for web site development to test on localhost before moving to the actual web host server.  Want to be running PHP5 and MySQL.  Do I want openssl or no-ssl and which version?  What is the PGP signature about?

 

Not sure which to choose:
