The easiest way to create or run a HTTP server in Windows is to use HFS. This handy executable file requires no installation or additional configuration. You just run the application, add the files you want to be shared and tell the user who needs to access your content and the IP that the program will give to you. By default, the application opens port 80 but if it's occupied, you can specify other port when clicking on the Port button. If your router has UPNP feature activated, your LAN server will be accessible from the outside.
I can't seem to get this server to work on my Windows Server 2003 computer. I set up the httpd.conf file just like I did with the Apache Server but it still doesn't seem to work. What can I do?

In order to fix the issue, I suggest you download and install the latest version of Apache HTTP Server from the official web page. Once you download it, launch the installer and accept the license agreement. Fill up the server information fields with the name of the domain that the server will run (you can leave it blank if you run the server locally), the Fully Qualified Domain Name of the server, the administrator email address, type Typical Setup in the Setup Type field, select the destination directory and press Install. If you still have problems, you can use the contact information from Apache website to get in touch with the support team.
I can't seem to get my Virtual Host to work on my Apache Server. The Apache Server itself works good. But it won't display other directories as a Virtual Host. Can you give me any assistance?

There are two Virtual Hosts that can be configured on an Apache Server. You can configure an IP-Based Virtual Host or a Name-based Virtual Host. Depending on the option that you chose, the configuration process is different. I suggest that you check the official website of Apache, where you have access to all the documentation that is available about this subject.
To debug the virtual configuration on your Apache Server, you can use the following command : /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -S
