Download and install Apache HTTP

Skip this step if a OS package repository is being used.
Download Apache HTTP Server from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi.

On most Operation systems the Apache HTTP Server package can be installed from a package repository. For example the '/usr/ports/' repository for FreeBSD and the 'apt-get' package system for Ubuntu and Debian Linux distributions. This will download AND install Apache HTTP Server on the default location depending on your OS with default modules and configuration.

Always use the operation system package repository instead of downloading and compiling from source if there is an package repository available.
