Installation of source code in Windows 2000 server

Dear guys,


I made the download of the sourcecode of the last version of Apache.
Now i`m trying to install it in my windows 2000 server. I configure the
file httpd.conf with the informations of my server, but now, i don`t
know how to install and start the Apache service. The sourcecode that i
get in their website don`t have any executable. How can I procedure to
end the instalation?



Regards.

Source code needs to be compiled.
If you did not know that, you probably don't even want the source code.
Just use the binary in that case: go to
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi and choose a win32 binary, not the
source.

Yes, I saw this options, but my OS don`t have a Windows installer to
install a MSI file.

How can I compiled the source?

Regards.

compiling the source isnt easy, instead just get a zip file from
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/f...che.org/httpd/
and download and unzip it, then go from there. Installing the exe as a
service is possible using the zip, however if you are new to it all why
not download a fully working version from somewhere like
apachefriends.de/xampp

you will find a regular update cycle that follows the newer apahce/php
and there are further add-ons to the basic xampp as you get more
experienced.
