Running on Win 10

Post #1 of 6 (429 views)

Hello users of Apache2.4.

I have been a long time user of the Apache servers installed on various
versions of Microsoft Windows.The main purpose of using Apache is to
develop my websites on a live server on my computer before releasing the
documents to the WWW.It saves a lot of time and headaches.

Every time I try and upgrade the windows operating system and re-install
Apache I run into major roadblocks.

I have spent two days searching Google, and the Apache website for
clues, I found a lot, but none have resolved the problems.

1.How do I get Windows 10 to start Apache at boot up?

2.How do I get Apache to load and index my folders and html documents?

I used to be able to perform the above function in Windows 7, but now I
am stumped.

This is what I have performed:

1.I edited the hosts file to include 127.0.0.1

2.I downloaded the Apache zip file and extracted to C:\Apache24\bin

3.I ran httpd.exe.A command box opened.

4.In my Firefox browser I entered in the URL field:localhost.I received
the Apache welcome page.It works!

5.In my Firefox browser I entered in the URL field:127.0.0.1.I received
the Apache welcome page.It works!

6.I cannot figure out how to get Apache to look at and index the files
in the following folder (an internal hard drive.) D:\WebSites\JazzClub.com

Can anyone provide a little help here?

General background information:I have been around for a while; I was a
member of ARPANET experimenting with digital communications before DNS
made life easier.

Thanks in advance,

Michael Gordon

Assuming you have downloaded the Windows binaries from
<https://www.apachelounge.com/download/> then when you unzip the
downloaded files, you'll find a bin folder. change to the bin folder
and then run this command at the cmd prompt:

> httpd.exe -k install
This cmd will install a service that will do what you want to do.

The index.html file is loaded depending on your apache configuration.
My Windows 10 configuration contains this:

> <IfModule dir_module>
> DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.shtml default.html main.html
> </IfModule>

The order is as shown above but you can place index.html before
index.php file to make sure index.html file is loaded always, assuming
the file exists in the folder.

or you can just type localhost in the browser address bar and it will do
the same thing.

Good.

First make sure that the index file is located at the root of the folder
called: JazzClub.com

Then make sure the DocumentRoot looks like this:

DocumentRoot "D:\Websites\JazzClub.com"

Hopefully the above changes will resolve most of the problems.

It does work on my Windows 10 machine.

One more thing, when you reply to these lists, please make sure you are
replying to the list direct and not to the person responding to you.
This way other users on the list can also see what you have done and
what works and what doesn't work.

Also, some users don't check their email accounts regularly. Well I
don't because I keep list email separate from the work email so the list
email takes second priority and sometimes goes for a week before I check
again. We have Euro 2020 just started so Europeans are busy watching
their teams taking part in the soccer tournament.

Hello Michael,

first, you should not run httpd.exe on command window.
It give the XAMPP Apache and friends package, which is
made for using Apache 24, MySQL, PHP, Perl, Tomcat and
Mercurial E-Mail Server, and File-Zilla FTP-Server one
in one.

Good Guy,

Thanks.

It has been way too long since I used "lists" and overlooked the "Reply
to List" option in Thunderbird.

One other item has just surfaced.
The SSI includes that worked before and still so on the commercial
servers no longer are inserted into the HTML document.

I checked all around and my config file has include enabled.
#LoadModule imagemap_module modules/mod_imagemap.so
LoadModule include_module modules/mod_include.so
#LoadModule info_module modules/mod_info.so

A snippet from the HTML document:


Any suggestions where to look?

Have a great weekend where ever you are,

Michael
