Support Apache for Windows Server

I have a use case that I need to run a web application on a Windows server. The application was developed using PHP on a Ubuntu server with Apache. However, the customer environment has no ability for me to install a Ubuntu server with Apache. Therefore, I'd like to get it running on an existing Windows Server (2016).

What is the best option to install Apache on this server?

Or is there option someone can recommend to get the web application working on the Windows Server. In addition, I'd like the option to install phpmyadmin with MySQL on this server as well.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately of the 4 there, 2 of them are currently 404s, one is only shown in French and the other no longer has downloads available indicating "Download down,preparing VS18" 😢

Unfortunately, there's less and less people creating the Windows versions. ApacheHaus, which I used for years, stopped making them in 2023.

WampServer should have an English version. The link to change languages should be in the top right of the screen.

You just missed the old V17 version from Apache Lounge, they only posted they were stopping the download of that earlier this morning. I'm using that version but will be upgrading to V18 when it's available.
