Are there any Gurus on here when it comes to running Apache on Windows?

[foozball3000]

We need to run Apache on windows for one of our clients. But there isn't a lot of documentation on Google about it.

Is there someone here that can help us out / send us in the right direction?
I'll then add you on msn for the technical questions.

Thanks in advance.

Well, specifically, we need to run a reverse proxy (Mod_Proxy). I just need someone who can tell me how.

Download WAMP and install it, follow the install instructions, it's the easiest way to set it up. It will install apache and myphpadmin for you. Its teh dogs bollocks man!

+1 or are you to lazy to read and only wants free advice?

I am willing to give free advice, but only on specific questions. So tell me where you are having problems and I'll try to help.

Skip wamp and settle for Xampp. It will install all out the box.

get a Linux box and install Apache on it.
This messing about with windows is not worth it.

Probably a good idea as you will also find a lot more help on the net

Rofl. Now where is that quicker and easier than just installing Xampp?

Xampp all you need to do is double click on it - it inhstalls - you reboot windows - you start the desktop icon - you start apache - done - you throw the files you need to run on apache in a certain folder - all is happy

For Linux Box - extra Pc - you need to install a distro - etc.. etc.. 12hrs down line, your app runs Seriuosly, to get one app running, use Xampp, its fool proof as well, and it uses almost no resources

IT is 5% install, 95% maintenance. What you may gain on the quicker install you will lose on the headaches.

Been running Xampp on a local Pc for more than a year. Absolut no headaches.
All I am saying, its pointless to set up a complete box just for one app

Have tried both WAMP and XAMPP. I prefer WAMP. It's easier to setup and use, IMO.

+1 for wamp

I prefer Turnkey lamp, out of the box distro with a bit more oomf than wamp and obviously run it in VirtualBox.

Do it like you'd do it in Linux.

+1 for wamp

1. install wamp
2. left click on the wamp systray icon
3. select: apache > apache modules > proxy_xxx

this is why i prefer wamp
pm me if you get stuck

I have successfully used XAMPP on Windows and Linux, admittedly only for development, but you will need to do more for a live server.
