Apache Configuration

The document shows the steps a user took to configure the Apache web server that is included in XAMPP on their Windows computer. They first changed directories to the Apache bin folder located at C:\xampp\Apache24\bin. When they tried to start Apache using the -k option, they received an error about the illegal -k option. They then used the -k config option successfully to reconfigure the Apache service.
