Installing Apache 2.0.59 to a Windows-based computer, locally: Part 1

In a previous article, I described how to install Apache 1.3.34 to an average home computer, running Windows XP. Since then, only Apache 1.3.35 has been released that would allow me to update my guide, even though the current 1.3.x version is 1.3.37. There's also a desire on my part to use Apache 2.0, even though my host has not yet begun using them.

Upgrading (our local install of) ActivePerl

In a previous guide, we walked through installing ActivePerl on a local machine. This time, we'll be upgrading ActivePerl. For this guide, we'll be upgrading from ActivePerl 5.8.7.815 to 5.8.8.817. However, since the installation requires the uninstallation of previous versions of ActivePerl, we'll simply be installing a new version of ActivePerl. If you have not installed Perl before, you can skip ahead to "Installing Perl" below. Please note that this guide will work equally well for the installation of, or upgrade to, ActivePerl 5.

Since Windows is fairly popular, I've decided to outline how to install Web server programs on it. Since Apache is both powerful and free, I've opted to use it as the core, instead of IIS, or the like. I also plan on keeping the various technologies up-to-date, yet continuing to provide the instructions for past versions used, just in case.

Installing Perl on a local Windows-based, Apache, server

Note: This guide should work equally well for ActivePerl 5.8.8.817 and above. For a guide on upgrading this 5.8.7.815 install, see Upgrading (our local install of) ActivePerl.

Now that we've installed Apache, configured our log files, and setup a log file analysis tool, it's time to install Perl. Perl will allow us to expand our horizons, and specifically will help us install a better log analyzer.
