Test the web server software by typing \'http://localhost\" (without quotation marks) in your web browser. You should see the Apache web server test page. This means you've successfully installed web server capabilities on your computer.
Open the web server configuration file using the text editor. The configuration file is stored in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf.
Search for \'#DocumentRoot \'C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs\'\' in the configuration file. Under it, enter the following text: DocumentRoot \'LOCATION HERE\'. Replace the capital text with the folder that you would like to share on the server, such as C:/User/My Documents.
Search for \'#
\' in the configuration file. Under it, enter the following text:
Change the capital text to the shared folder you entered in Step 4.
Search for \'AllowOverride None\' and change to \'AllowOverride All.\' Close and save the file.
Test your web server by navigating to the server host. You should now be able to access the folder you set to share in the configuration file. Your web server is now set up on your computer.
