Installing Apache HTTPD web server with PHP and OpenSSL support on Windows

Apache HTTPD

Fresh Apache HTTPD binaries can be found on Apache Lounge site. Note that you will need the binary compiled with OpenSSL 0.9.8 to work with our future PHP installation. Also, there is a link to VC10 redistributable somewhere at the top part of the download page. Make sure to grab it and install on your Windows before you start with Apache HTTPD installation and configuration.

Go to C:\Apache24\bin

Just extract the content of the package and move “Apache24” directory to the “C:” drive. You can start the web server by running “httpd.exe” from “C:\Apache24\bin” folder. In the same folder you can find useful ApacheMonitor utility, which allows you to start and stop the server conveniently. I recommend to create a shortcut to this utility and place it to the startup folder (either yours or for all users). Also, Apache HTTPD can be set up to run as a service on system startup by executing “C:\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe -k install” command.

The easiest way to start Apache is to add it as a Windows service.

To turn on the option for storing chat history:

4. Sign out of Skype for Business/Lync (choose drop-down menu next to Availability Status > Sign Out), then sign back in to apply changes.

Note: if there are more than 1000 folders in the mailbox, saving chat conversations feature may not work correctly.
If the checkbox Save IM conversations in my email Conversation History folder is greyed out, perform the following steps:
6. Open regedit: to do so, click the Start button and then in the Start Menu, either in the Run box or in the Search box, type regedit and press Enter. 



7. Create the registry backup.
   Note: you can skip this step, however, we highly recommend to back up the registry before you proceed to modifying its entries.
8. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\x.0\Lync (x.0 corresponds to the Office version: 16.0 = Office 2016, 15.0 = Office 2013, 14.0 = Office 2010)
9. Remove a DWORD entry named IMAutoArchivingPolicy.
   Note: If IMAutoArchivingPolicy has value of 0 the box will be unchecked and greyed out. If IMAutoArchivingPolicy has value of 1, the box will be checked and greyed out.
10. Reboot your machine. After a reboot you should be able to check the box Save IM conversations in my email Conversation History folder.
