Apache 2.4.43
I created new directory “root” in Apache24 and set it as DocumentRoot.
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
#DocumentRoot "${SRVROOT}/htdocs"
DocumentRoot "${SRVROOT}/root"
Open httpd.conf. and change <Directory> Directive.
<Directory "${SRVROOT}/loot">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory><Directory> Directive can control group of directives.
Options: The Options directive controls which server features are available.
Indexes: If a URL which maps to a directory is requested and there is no DirectoryIndex (e.g., index.html) in that directory, then mod_autoindex will return a formatted listing of the directory.
FollowSymLinks: The server will follow symbolic links in this directory. This is the default setting.
You can see more of Options directive in Options Directive.
AllowOverride: When this directive is set to None, .htaccess files are completely ignored. .htaccess file is the configurations file for non-administrator users.
You can see more of Options directive in AllowOverride Directive.
Require: This directive tests whether an authenticated user is authorized according to a particular authorization provider and the specified restrictions.
all granted: Grant access to all requests.
You can see more of Options directive in Require Directives.

To setup Apache and build local web server with it. In this article, you can only display default page. If you would like to create new directory as a local serer, check “How to Build Local Server 2” after Apache setup.
Windows 10
Apache 2.4.43
Apache is open source application for implementation of an HTTP (Web) server. You can build local web server and global web server regardless of whether it is commercial use or not.
Local web server is used as a virtual environment for development and test before publishing to the live server. You can make local file a test server that only local users can access.
1. Open Download page “Apache HTTP Server project website“.
2. Click Files for Microsoft Windows if you use windows.
* Click “Binaries” if you don’t use windows.
* I don’t know why but I couldn’t click “Source: httpd-2.4.43.tar.bz2”.
3. Select one sit from the list. In my case, I clicked “Apache Lounge”.
4. Install Apache 2.4.43 Win64 or Apache 2.4.43 Win32
1. Unzip httpd-2.4.43-win64-VS16.zip and open it. You can see the directory named “Apache**”.
2. Put the directory “Apache24” into the directory you want. I put it on document directory.
3. Open Apache24>conf>httpd.conf with your favorite text editor.
Change definition of SRVROOT into the path to “Apache24”
#default
#Define SRVROOT "c:/Apache24"
Define SRVROOT "C:\Users\USER_NAME\Documents\Apache24\conf"
ServerRoot "${SRVROOT}"Change ServerName
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here. # #ServerName www.example.com:80 ServerName localhost:80
Use command as below or just double-click httpd.exe.
Open command prompt and change directory into the Apache24¥bin
> cd C:\Users\USER_NAME\Documents\Apache24\bin > httpd AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using ******. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
If you got an warning about fire wall, allow the access in private network.
You should register httpd as a windows service. Open command prompt as administrator and install httpd.
> cd C:\Users\USER_NAME\Documents\Apache24\bin > httpd -k install Installing the 'Apache2.4' service The 'Apache2.4' service is successfully installed. Testing httpd.conf....
Then you can start httpd by command as below.
httpd -k start
You can stop/shutdown by commands as below. It works only when command prompt is run by an user as administrator.
> httpd -k stop
> httpd -k shutdown
Put index.html and resources into Apache24\htdocs. I put index.html below.
