How to use Apache to run as a web server

https://www.apachehaus.com/cgi-bin/download.plx

1. Download Apache2.4(x86 / x64) from this site. Link above

2. Unzip apache to a desired location

3. Open httpd.conf
   Eg. C:\httpd-2.4.33-o102o-x64-vc14-r2\Apache24\conf\httpd.conf

4. Set “ServerRoot” as the parent directory apache directory
   Eg. ServerRoot "C:\httpd-2.4.33-o102o-x64-vc14-r2\Apache24"

5. Make sure you have these lines modules loaded in httpd.conf, uncomment if commented
   LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
   LoadModule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer.so
   LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
   LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
   LoadModule proxy_http2_module modules/mod_proxy_http2.so
   LoadModule proxy_wstunnel_module modules/mod_proxy_wstunnel.so
   LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
   LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

6. Add the following config in your httpd.conf
   <VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName localhost

     ProxyRequests Off

ProxyPreserveHost On

<Location />

ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8081/

ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8081/

</Location>

      LogLevel info

</VirtualHost>

1. Run apache2 as a service ::
   Open a CMD prompt
   Go to bin directory eg.
   prompt> cd C:\httpd-2.4.33-o102o-x64-vc14-r2\Apache24\bin
   prompt> httpd.exe -k install
   prompt> httpd.exe -k start

   It will start apache on port 80

2. Make sure firewall is enabled for 80. 

3. For enabling SSL you may similarly use a virtual host config for port 443 (untested)

    

   <VirtualHost *:443>
   ServerName localhost
   RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  ^/editor            [NC,OR]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} transport=websocket    [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP:UPGRADE} ^WebSocket$ [NC,OR]

RewriteCond %{HTTP:CONNECTION} ^Upgrade$ [NC]

RewriteRule /(.*)           wss://localhost:8081%{REQUEST_URI} [P,L]

SSLEngine on                                                                

SSLProtocol all -SSLv2                                                      

SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM                

SSLCertificateFile <Path to SSL cert>                           

SSLCertificateKeyFile <Path to private key file>                        

SSLCertificateChainFile <Path to chained certificate>

ProxyRequests Off

ProxyPreserveHost On

<Location />

ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8081/

ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8081/

</Location>
