+ For complete documentation, see manual/platform/windows.html.en or
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/platform/windows.html.
- The Apache/Win32 binaries are primarily distributed as a Windows Installer
- package (.msi), and may be available as a .zip file as well. These packages
- are named apache-2.2.xx-win32-x86.msi and apache-2.2.xx-win32-x86.zip.
- Please choose the .msi package if at all possible.
+ The Apache/Win32 binaries are distributed as Windows Installer packages
+ (.msi) named httpd-2.2.xx-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi for a version without mod_ssl
+ and httpd-2.2.xx-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8x.msi for a version including the
+ mod_ssl plus the openssl library and command line utility. These packages
+ may be unpacked without "installing" them by using the msiexec /a option.
- If you have unpacked a source distribution (named httpd-2.2-xx.zip, without
- any -win32-x86 notation) you must compile the package yourself, see the links
+ If you have unpacked a source distribution (named httpd-2.2.x-win32-src.zip,
+ without any -x86 notation) you must compile the package yourself, see the links
mentioned above. Unless you intended to do this, please look again for the
binary package from http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/ and
- install that .msi (or .zip package, if you must.)
-
- If you have unpacked this binary distribution from the .zip package, you
- _must_ edit the conf/httpd.conf file (with notepad or another text editor)
- to reflect the correct ServerName, Domain, and directory paths. Search for
- the text "@@" to discover what you must edit. To install and start the
- service after you have corrected the httpd.conf file, use the command
-
- bin\httpd.exe -k install
- bin\httpd.exe -k start
+ install the desired .msi package.
The .msi package configures the httpd.conf file, and installs and starts
- the Apache2 service for you. It also installs plenty of useful shortcuts
+ the Apache2.2 service for you. It also installs plenty of useful shortcuts
and the taskbar ApacheMonitor. We strongly encourage you to use it.
