How to Turn your System into a Web Server

Hello Guys, in this post am going to teach you How can you turn your Computer System into a Web Server. This will only for Windows users, and will work on windows only.


Follow the steps below to turn your Computer into a web server: -

1) First of all, we need to download 
Apache Software. Apache is a software that will aid us in turning our computer into a web server.

2) After your download is done, Run the program, it should open up like this




3) Now Install it as an ordinary program. Open it.
4) You will notice a new program in the system tray, double click on it. A screen like this


5) It should pop up, this is the window you will use to restart your web server, you need this when working with your language of choice, y'know php, javascript, html...the sorts.
Testing: -


1) Type localhost in your browser, notice i did not add any .com or .net to it, if you see than you succeeded.




2) If you don't see 'It Works!' Then don't fret yet, there's still hope, type 127.0.0.1 into your browser and check.
3) If it still doesn't work, try going through all the steps again and see what you did wrong, if it still doesn't work, try using google to help you.
