Install & Set Up Apache Web Server on Windows 10 - Quickly!

[@FlavorOfTheMonthChannel]

A few additional tips: Problem: httpd: Syntax error on line 39 of C:/PHP/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf: ServerRoot must be a valid directory Fix: Ensure that your Apache folder is in the proper directory, under the C:/ directory (in this example) Problem: Installed Apache Service in the wrong location? Fix: use the command "sc delete apache2.4" to delete the Apache service. If you do this, you'll have to run httpd -k install again to reinstall though

[@LexGear]

I had to edit the conf file and change it to the correct drive letter. Otherwise worked well.

[@RolloTompson1231]

If you've already installed the service as well you'll need to edit the Image path as well. Go to Run, regedit, go to the directoy: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Apache2.4 Once you're there right click Image path and update it to the new directory you unzipped to. Full string should look like this once you're done. "C:\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice Mine worked after that.

This video contains exactly what the title describes. Thank you! it worked perfectly!

[@FlavorOfTheMonthChannel]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad it worked :D

[@Wiktor2802]

Very underrated channel! Probably the only decent video tutorial out there showing how to install apache.

[@ADHD_Gamer]

1:51 TIP SHORTCUT (FOR CMD) METHOD 1: Click your path bar in your explorer (top part that says "c:\bla\bla\bla" - delete what is there and just type "cmd" METHOD 2: Shift+Right click in a blank space within this folder and you will see a new item called "Open command window here" Hope that helps!

[@FlavorOfTheMonthChannel]

Never knew this, thanks! Very cool trick

I'm getting a: Windows could not start the apache2.4 service on local computer. Error 2: the system cannot find the file specified. ------- Also, I've tried learning /following with lots of people on many different programming languages. This is the first time I actually understood. Thanks a bunch👍🏼

[@joshualesternunez5657]

you can try to type C:\Apache24\bin>httpd.exe -h install and then proceed to type httpd.exe -k install

[@LouisKaranja]

For your errors, how did you resolve it?

[@crescenstan7167]

Thanks for this vid! One problem I had run into was the ServerRoot being linked to the wrong directory. "httpd: Syntax error on line 37 of C:/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf: ServerRoot must be a valid directory" Just a heads up to others, you must locate this file "..\Apache24\conf\httpd.conf" open and edit the var "SRVROOT" (I found this var at line 37). Change the file path to whatever folder "Apache24" is in. In my case, it was from " Define SRVROOT "C:\Apache24" " to " Define SRVROOT "C:\httpd-2.4.52-win64-VS16\Apache24" " Hope this helps anyone that may have ran into this problem!

Thank you so much! For this to work put it in your c drive all under a folder called Apache24. Putting it under other files breaks it I guess.

Great info! I love how quickly and concisely you went through the material. You can also just paste in the Apache24 folder's location in that config file (unless there's another reason later, because it works otherwise to get started).

@@itztoofan I could make a tutorial for this next. I suppose I've kind of dragged my feet on it because hosting an apache server publicly online comes with a lot of security risk.

Sorry for the delayed response. You can find the error log for Apache, which will contain more details at: ‪C:\Apache24\logs\error.log. Perhaps your virtual machine has a different version of Windows other than Windows 10. What VM are you using?

[@kostas6915]

Very nice video. Question, is it possible to install apache in a VM in a local pc and also install django there and server this out to internet, or for more practical purposes to a intranet or network?

[@FlavorOfTheMonthChannel]

In many cases, the server will be virtually hosted on a cloud platform like "digital ocean" to accomplish this. You could put the server with Django on either your local computer, a VM on your local computer, or a VM on a server hosting platform, if desired. Generally speaking, most people/companies host the server on a virtual hosting service that they pay for, so they don't have to deal with any of the hardware issues of running their own server.

[@RolloTompson1231]

The httpd.exe file depends on the extract to location being the C: drive. If you have it anyway else you have to edit the directory in the httpd.exe file. Trust me there's too much to edit. Just delete the file and re-extract the zip file to the C: drive. If you've already installed the service as well you'll need to edit the Image path as well. Go to Run, regedit, go to the directoy: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Apache2.4 Once you're there right click Image path and update it to the new directory you unzipped to.

Ive followed the video but in PhpMyAdmin i get an error at the bottom saying "Invalid server index: " and the drop down choice box shows 2 "Localhost" servers". Any clues you could help me. TIA

[@FlavorOfTheMonthChannel]

In your windows services list (go to start menu, type in "services"), do you have more than one service running for Apache? Also, are you trying to set up PhpMyAdmin for MySQL? The error "Invalid server index" would make me think that there's a phpmyadmin config that is looking for apache, but it's got the improper list / references to point to your apache 2.4 install. I'll be making a follow up video soon for installing MySQL to the webserver as well, so maybe that'll help.
