| I know I sound realy fresh but I am a newbie and am trying to have a go at Web Developement and stuff... I downloaded Steffen's version of Apache 2.2 but like he sayz in readmeFirst, how do I start httpd.exe in DOS box..
 I double clicked on the httpd.exe and a Command window appears but when i run the Apache Monitor, it sayz no serivice installed. How do i install a service...?
 Do I have to alter any of the lines in httpd.conf file....
 
 And if I get it goin? How do I test to see if it is running?
 
 My environment is XP Home Edition Service Pak 2 and 512 RAM,  1.7 GigaHertz  Intel
 
 Any post to this would be more than helpful...
 
 Thanks

| If you double click the httpd.exe the server is allready runnig. If you want to install it as a service access the folder with the console (cmd (speudo DOS)) call
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | httpd.exe -k install
 
 | 
 If you don't need the service, just double klick it. When the Apache Window appears, open you browser and open http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1
 
 put your testing files in the htdocs folder.
 
 Good luck
