Well... you could get it from Apache. &nbsp;Downloads for Apache 2.2 and 2.4, the current version, are on this page: <a href="https://httpd.apache.org/" rel="ugc">https://httpd.apache.org/</a>&nbsp; If you already have IIS running on that machine you will not be able to use Apache on port 80 because IIS hogs port 80 on all IP addresses. &nbsp;Apache is typically put on port 8080 in that case.

Windows binaries can be downloaded from ApacheHause<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.apachehaus.com/cgi-bin/download.plx#APACHE24VC11" rel="ugc">http://www.apachehaus.com/cgi-bin/download.plx#APACHE24VC11</a><br />
<br />
I upgraded one of our servers last week to 2.4 - using the httpd-2.24.23-x86-vc14.zip<wbr /> download from the above site.<br />
<br />
It was a fairly simple install - needed a bit of manual going through the httpd.conf to move settings over but that took about 5 min.

<div>
Thanks all.<br />

What are the steps to further set up Apache on Win 2008 server?
</div>


<div>
There are fairly comprehensive instructions located here<br />
<br />
<a href="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/platform/windows.html" rel="ugc">https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/platform/windows.html</a><br />
<br />
Work through those and post back with any specific questions you may have.
</div>


<div>
Many thanks Julian.<br />
Within Win 2008 server, do I need one service name before I run 'httpd' for setup?
</div>

I am not with you - can you elaborate?
</div>


<div>
Do I need one service name due to this?<br />
<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41749964-1"><span>httpd.exe -k install -n &quot;MyServiceName&quot;</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
You only need to specify a name if you are running multiple instances of Apache on the same server. If you are just running one instance then you do not need the service name unless you want to change the default name - in which case change &quot;MyServiceName&quot; to whatever you want to call the service.
</div>


<div>
Does it mean I should have relevant runtime dll file below <br />

Where can I get the file?

This link <a href="http://www.apachehaus.com/cgi-bin/download.plx#REDIST14" rel="ugc">http://www.apachehaus.com/cgi-bin/download.plx#REDIST14</a>&nbsp;on your download page leads to this page: <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=48145" rel="ugc">https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=48145</a>&nbsp; Make sure and get the version for your system, x86 or x64.
</div>


<div>
Yes - that version of Apache requires the vc14 (Visual Studio 2015) runtime which you can get from here <br />
<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-za/download/details.aspx?id=48145" rel="ugc">https://www.microsoft.com/en-za/download/details.aspx?id=48145</a><br />
Microsoft sometimes changes their download links so if the above fails search on &quot;Visual Studio 2015 runtime&quot;<br />
<br />
On the download page choose the download that matches the version of Apache you downloaded - if you downloaded the x86 then you need the x86 runtime likewise for the x64.<br />
<br />
Based on your screen shot you are using the 32 bit version so you would need to download <br />
vc_redist.x86.exe
</div>


<div>
Any advice to this?<br />

<div>
Have you edited your httpd.conf and configured the settings in there?<br />
<br />
What the error is saying is that in your httpd.conf you have not specified a valid ServerRoot<br />
<br />
Here is how I have configured my httpd.conf file lines 38-39<br />
<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41750141-1"><span>Define SRVROOT &quot;C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.4&quot;</span>
<span>ServerRoot &quot;${SRVROOT}&quot;</span>
</code></pre>
<br />
The folder specified must exist on your server.
</div>


<div>
I do not see this folder<br />
<br />
C:\Program Files (x86)<br />
<br />
now. Do I need to create it by copying files from <br />
<br />
'Apache httpd-2.4.23-x86-vc14'<br />
<br />
?
</div>


<div>
Have you configured your setup by editing httpd.con?<br />
<br />
Yes | No
</div>


<div>
Sorry to that my last message was misleading, as I wanted to ask, I did not see Apache folder within<br />
C:\Program Files (x86)<br />
<br />
how was the folder created?
</div>


<div>
That is the install folder for Apache - it may be different on your system - depending on where you installed it to.<br />
<br />
Based on your screen shot it appears it is the following on your system <br />
<br />
c:\setup\apache
</div>


<div>
Hi,<br />
Is it fine to do this change?<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41751539-1"><span>#Define SRVROOT &quot;/Apache24&quot;</span>
<span>Define SRVROOT &quot;C:\setup\Apache httpd-2.4.23-x86-vc14\Apache24&quot;</span>
</code></pre>
how to verify Apache is fine now on the server?
</div>


<div>
If that folder exists and that is where you want your server root to be then yes.
</div>


<div>
Yes, it is fine to be with such folder for Apache. What to do next, on the server?
</div>


<div>
Not sure what you mean - I ask again have you configured your httpd.conf file?<br />
<br />
Can you post that.
</div>


<div>
I only change this part<br />
<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41751815-1"><span>Define SRVROOT &quot;C:/setup/Apache httpd-2.4.23-x86-vc14/Apache24&quot;</span>
<span></span>
<span>ServerRoot &quot;${SRVROOT}&quot;</span>
</code></pre>
within httpd.conf file. Here is what I get<br />
<a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2016/08_w33/1111064/6k.png" target="_blank" title="6k.png (7 KB)"><img alt="6k.png" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 800px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2016/08_w33/800_1111064/6k.png" /></a><br />
What is needed to be done further, for Apache now?

<div>
Can we see your httpd.conf.<br />
<br />
Are you sure you don't have any other services running on that server that are using port 80 - like IIS for instance?<br />
<br />
If you browse to the server do you get a web page back?

<div>
You only need to amend the firewall rules if you have changed the port (say to 8080) and that port is not open and you want to access the server from an external source.<br />
<br />

<blockquote>

 No you install Apache as a service<br />
<br />

 Have you installed PHP and configured Apache to use it?

Only Inbound rules?<br />

Yes, how to configure?<br />

BTW, from one given php.exe file, how can I know the exact version of it?

Inbound rules - yes<br />

Hi,
Where can I get setup file of Apache server 2.2, as I want to set it up on Windows 2008 server?

Apache 2.2 on Windows 2008

The Apache HTTP Server is a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards. Typically Apache is run on a Unix-like operating system, but it is available for a wide variety of operating systems, including Linux, Novell NetWare, Mac OS-X and Windows. Released under the Apache License, Apache is open-source software.

Apache Web Server

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
