The current stable release is Apache 1.3.23

Since Apache version 1.3.22, a full setup package (.exe) containing the Win9x/WinNT Microsoft System Installer installer is available. If the Microsoft System Installer is already on the machine, there is no need to download the .exe, save yourself 3MB and download the .msi package. [The .exe installer will not be created for beta releases of Apache 2.0. Get the Microsoft Installer if you wish to participate in the beta.]

The two -no_src versions, both the .exe and .msi installers DO NOT contain the source code. There is no other difference, and if you do not know the C language, or have no C compiler installed, these versions are faster to download. There is no other difference between these packages and the -src .msi version.

You must have the Microsoft System Installer, version 1.2 or greater, already installed if you want to install the -src version. If this bothers you, seek the .zip file in /dist/httpd/. /dist/httpd/ .zip files contain NO executable programs! but will compile on Windows without having to change Unix line endings found in the .tar.gz and .tar.Z files.

Looking for an older version? Don't. There have been a number of essential bug and security fixes to the evolving support for Win32 under Apache. Most critically, there were potential denial of service attacks affecting Win32 that were closed with the release of 1.3.22. 1.3.23 fixes further problems.

Apache 2.0.28 Beta

Apache 2.0.28 is now available as a BETA. That means it is NOT yet production-stable code. If it works for you, congratulations. If not, try again with the next announced beta. Users report it does not work on Windows 95. You are forewarned.

If you discover a bug, first research carefully if it has been already reported against version 2.0.28. This will save everyone much grief. If it was not reported report it yourself, but please note the Apache release -exactly- as 2.0.28 so others can find your report. Do not report configuration or install problems as bugs! The comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows newsgroup provides peer support. If you do not follow these guidelines, your reports and requests for assistance will be ignored.

MSI Binary Distribution Packages

The Apache httpd Project is working to minimize your download times. With the arrival of version 1.3.17 of Apache, we distribute the Apache httpd Server in an MSI package. This should resolve problems that Windows ME users had with the older installer, and minimizes the download time. However, only Windows ME and 2000 users have built-in MSI support with the installation of Windows. Users of Windows NT 4.0, 95 and 98 must download the MSI installer, if it was not already installed by another product's installation.

If you are unsure if the Windows Installer is present, or the required version 1.10.1029.1 or later, then run the MSIEXEC command from the Start -> Run dialog to determine if the Windows Installer is on your machine. It will report "Incorrect command line parameters", and also tell you its version number. Apache's .msi packages require Windows Installer V 1.10 or later, which you can install or upgrade with the following Microsoft downloads:

• Windows Installer v1.10 for Windows NT 4.0 (x86) (already built into Windows 2000) from Microsoft
• Windows Installer v1.10 for Windows 95 and 98 (already built into Windows ME) from Microsoft

Once you have downloaded and installed the MSI installer application, you should not need to do so again. You will be ready to run the Apache .msi binary installer distributions above. Because a small but significant number of users have encountered problems running the Win32 installer, we have provided the TROUBLESHOOTING pages to help you diagnose and fix most installation problems.

Windows 95 Apache Users Read This First

If you will install apache on Windows 95, stop. First you need to download and install the Windows Socket 2 Update from Microsoft, available at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/bin/W95ws2setup.exe, before you proceed to download and install Apache on Windows 95. Windows NT 4.0, 98, ME and 2000 versions already ship with Winsock2.

Warning: You must have WinSock2 TCP/IP networking correctly installed, configured and running in order to install Apache on Windows. If you use dial-up networking exclusively, you may need to be dialed in to the internet for Apache to correctly determine that TCP/IP is installed.
