Notes

  • No official Windows binaries are published by the Apache Software Foundation; community-built Windows binaries are available from Apache Lounge.
  • Bundled stacks such as XAMPP or WampServer include Apache alongside PHP and a database, but are separate third-party projects, not official Apache Software Foundation distributions.
