Be careful that the new versions (Apache 2 and tomcat 4) needs some particular changes. I will try to integrate them, but for now, check the Chapter 5 : References at the end of this document !

How to setup Apache 1.3.23 in a Windows 2000 environement.

In a Linux environement the http server is almost always already installed.

There is a new version : Apache 2.0.36 wich is much better; I will update soon.

Installation. Go to the Apache "HTTP Server" project page. Download the file apache_1.3.23-win32-x86-no_src.msi. Or use one of the other distribution file from this directory. As usual, execute the file and don't panic when it ask questions, you will modify this later in the httpd.conf file. Configuration : the only file I modified is the %Apache_home%/conf/httpd.conf.

			ServerName 152.118.12.179

I put my IP adress 152.118.12.179 but generaly Localhost should be OK.

How-to put the data on an different partition. It is useful if you want some precious data to be on a secific directory. This directory can be backed-up or more secure.This is done with the httpd.conf file.You can put the whole ServerRoot and conf files to an other directory. You can move just site data (the DocumentRoot.) You can put each new VirtualHost on differents directory (with or without their log file ...)The easier is to create a new virtual host, since it won't screw up others configurations.If you change the DocumentRoot, don't forget to change the following <directory ...> too.

			DocumentRoot "D:/bruno/doc/Dev/Web"
			...
			<Directory "D:/bruno/doc/Dev/Web">
