Windows

Preparation

The final plan here is to install Apache by simply un-zipping an archive. We don’t want the Windows installer to set-up services and registry entries.

Download apache_2.2.13-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8k.msi from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
Install to a temporary folder e.g:
```
C:\temp\delete\Apache2.2\
```
Stop the Apache Windows Service (the installer will automatically have started it).
Create an archive of the Apache2.2 folder.
Move the archive somewhere safe e.g:
```
env\bin\apache-http-2.2\Apache2.2.zip
```
Un-install the Apache you just installed.

Extract the archive you prepared earlier e.g:
```
c:\tools\apache2.2
```

We can use the following minimal configuration (thank you Simon B). Check the values for ServerRoot and DocumentRoot:

ServerRoot "C:/tools/apache2.2"
DocumentRoot "C:/tools/apache2.2/htdocs"

ServerName localhost
Listen 80
DirectoryIndex index.html

ErrorLog logs/default-error.log
PidFile logs/httpd.pid

LoadModule dir_module modules/mod_dir.so
LoadModule mime_module modules/mod_mime.so

LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so

<Directory />
   Options None
   AllowOverride None
</Directory>

To start the server, see the Command Line
Browse to http://localhost/
