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

How to install the Apache2.4 httpd webserver as a service on a Windows 10 machine. How to check if it's running as a service, working in your browser, and how to view error logs.

In future videos, I will explain how to install PHP and MySQL to create the WAMP stack. Comment below for feedback and suggestions for future videos.

A few additional tips:
Problem: httpd: Syntax error on line 39 of 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

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!

Thank so much! You helped me a lot. This video was short and useful!

[MCNeko]

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).

[erichsu]

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

[tractorman]

thank you very much! My main server is running apache with php and sql addons, but I wanted apache installed on my laptop so when I am writing code on the go, I can test my code

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👍🏼

[Vincent-foie]

[selectormillitant]

What do you do if it says
Windows could not start the apache2.4 on local computer.

[orlinchirinos]

The installation went well except for the error I get from httpd: Syntax error on line 39 of ServerRoot must be a valid directory. I can't seem to get it fixed right. I need help! Can you give me an example?
