ok, why these below?
apache_2.2.2-win32-x86-symbols.zip httpd-2.2.2-win32-src.zip httpd-2.2.2-win32-src.zip.asc.txt httpd-2.2.2-win32-src.zip.md5.txtThe installing of the msi file was successful and I can access the server via C:/.../htdocs where i find the index.html location.
Great!
Where do I put the unzipped files from the downloads I list above.
Anywhere you like.
What are they doing?
Telling you how the code was written and compiled for crash debugging. You probably won't need them, I'm wondering why you ignored README in the windows download location (http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/)
How can I move my default http-directory to D:?
Switch the <Directory "c:/.../htdocs"> and DocumentRoot c:/.../htdocs (whereever ... is) to somewhere over on d:/ by editing your conf/httpd.conf file.
Where do I find a manual for rockies that is written for XP-users (I find most of the helpmanuals to go to deep into what to me seems to be UNIX-stuff. Makes no sense for me...)
Sure it does, if you just remember that d:/files/web/ for example is just the same as d:\files\web - but that Apache wants configurations to use forward slashes (backslashes mean something special) and you put drive letters in. Special windows-specific differences are all covered here and here... http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/platform/windows.html http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_winnt.html
So - can anyone help a newbee to run Apache on XP?
Something big changed in 2.2 - most of the configuration sections are optional, included in conf/httpd.conf from the conf/extras/ collection of feature configs. Check them out. Sounds like you are making progress! See any of the beginners guides, getting started with Apache, there are several good books out there too. Don't just say you can't understand the unix examples, or you leave yourself without alot of good ideas. If you drop into the Dublin ApacheCon late June, I'm presenting getting started with Apache 2 on Windows on Friday a.m. http://www.apachecon.com/ Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
