What do I need to install and run Apache?
Although it seems complicated, you will see that it’s not rocket science. Here’s what you will need to use Apache on Windows 11:
A PC with Microsoft Windows 11 (It also works on Windows 10, but we will focus on the new OS) An internet connection to download the installer Patience and a little bit of focus
The software described in this article is free and can be downloaded from their dedicated websites or authorized mirrors. The problem is that manual configuration can take some time and requires some advanced computer/server knowledge to understand what each option does.
How do I get, install and configure Apache on Windows 11?
1. Download and configure Apache
2. Start the Apache server
3. Configure the server as a system service
Congratulations! You have installed the Apache server on Windows 11. You can now test and develop websites by running them locally instead of uploading each file to a web server after editing it. Just as additional information, Ports 80 and 443, used by default by Apache, may be blocked or reserved on your machine by other applications. For example, Skype reserves these ports in case others aren’t available and continues to reserve them even though it doesn’t use them. You can disable this in Skype by unchecking Use port 80 and 443 for additional incoming connections under Tools > Options > Advanced > Connection.
