 +==== How to install and configure Apache ====
 +
 +This tutorial currently focuses on installing Apache HTTP Server on Microsoft Windows. If you are experienced user of another operating system and wish to share advice, please feel free to [[mailto:zeman@ufal.mff.cuni.cz|contact me]].
 +
 +  * Download the Apache HTTP Server from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi. For MS Windows, you can download a package for the Microsoft Installer (''.msi''). Install it by double-clicking on the installation file. I suggest installing Apache as a system service. That way, it will automatically start on startup of your computer.
 +  * Configure the server. This essentially means editing a configuration file and restarting the server. Depending on your system settings, Apache version etc., the configuration file will reside in a path similar to this: ''C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf''. Alternatively, you can access it via your Start Menu: Apache -> Apache HTTP Server 2.2 -> Configure Apache Server -> Edit the Apache httpd.conf Configuration File.
 +    * Look for a ''ScriptAlias'' directive. It tells the server: 1. what path on the hard disk contains scripts that can generate dynamic HTML content on the fly, and 2. how the path will be represented in the URL (web address). For example <code>ScriptAlias /cgi/ "C:/Documents and Settings/Dan/Documents/Web/cgi/"</code> says that the URL ''http://localhost/cgi/anyscript.pl'' leads to your script ''C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\Documents\Web\cgi\anyscript.pl'', and that it's a script (i.e., the server shall invoke it and send its output, instead of sending the script itself).
 +    * Under Windows, you will also want to set <code>ScriptInterpreterSource registry</code> It tells the server that the Windows registry shall be used to figure out how to run a script (e.g., that ''C:\Perl\Perl.exe'' binary must be run to interpret a ''.pl'' script).
 +  * Restart the server. On the main Windows panel, there is (typically in the lower right corner) a set of icons, including a new one for Apache. Right-click on it, select Open Apache Monitor, then Restart.
