This page provides detailed step by step instructions on how to install Apache on Windows 7 operating system. You’ll probably follow that up with PHP and MySQL database installations. These are detailed in other articles; please check links at the bottom of this page.
Note: Though not required for installing Apache, I suggest you check the system type – whether the Windows 7 your computer is running is 32 bit or 64 bit. This information is available at Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> System type. We’ll need it at the time of installing MySQL.
Note: Didn’t get the “It works!” page? You may need to start Apache. Go to All Programs -> Apache HTTP Server 2.2 -> Control Apache Server and select either Start or Restart. The Apache server can also be started and stopped from Services under the Control Panel.

Following are solutions to some other problems you might face.
