Thankyou. Had one more question. What is the right way of handling this - in which location in Apache server directory should I be keeping my filter specific files?
As of now the XML and other files that are read by my filter are placed in a new folder say "MyFilter" inside "httpd-2.4.4-win64\Apache24\htdocs". Is this the right way of doing it? Also, I have downloaded the 64-bit HTTP server from - http://www.apachelounge.com/download/win64/httpd-2.4.4-win64.zip<http://www.apachelounge.com/download/win64/> Is this the right official website to download Apache server?
