Well you download the HTTP one but its best if you get XAMPP its got all the stuff you need! And its all built in so no messing around with .ini files.

Which OS are you running? How old is the hardware?

The easiest way would be to install either WAMP or LAMP (as previously suggested) however, which do you prefer, learning, or easiest? You can't truly have both.

If you really want to learn how Apache works, then you should download it & manually install it. If you just want it easy, download WAMP or LAMP.

It's really simple actually.

I'm a PHP, Apache and MySQL n00b and if I could do it, I'm sure you can too!

Since this is more of a question on the apache software, I'm going to move this topic to Web Server & Hosting.

XAMPP is quite good for learning because it includes a lot of really useful features but WAMP is good also or you could download apache if you want to learn how the server works and how to configure it.

XAMPP is really good for beginners though smile.gif
