In
this post we will see how to create an HTTP server. A web server is
software installed on a computer that allows other computers to access
specific files on that computer/server. There are many reasons to create
your own home servers. For example: file sharing, so you can download
files from your home computer from anywhere or you can create a web
site on own server etc. Simply said It works like this; You choose a
directory on your computer , in that directory add folders, files like
music,video and etc. When you put the IP address of your computer the in
web browser you can see all the files from that folder and you can
download those files. Let’s now create a server(HTTP server!) using
Apache(a server client):
1. You must have:
Broadband internet connection always on
Windows on your computer
2. Create a folder on your disc , in this example I created a folder on E:\my server
3. Download apache_2.2.10-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi and install it, set parameters( for localhost type something like a myserver.com(doesn’t really matter), also type your email address in field “Administrator@ Email Address” ) as shown below, choose where you want to install it.
