How to install Apache Bench on Windows 7?
ApacheApachebenchApache Problem Overview
I want to install Apache Bench on Windows, can someone tell me which MSI to get?
I did install some MSI but it seems to have installed apache http server.
I just need to run Apache Bench, as I am testing an IIS asp.net application.
Apache Solutions
Solution 1 - Apache
It sounds like you don't want to install Apache, but you do want Apache Bench. May I recommend XAMPP? Download the zip or 7zip versions (much larger download than regular Apache but you won't have to install). Unzip the download.
This is where what I would recommend, and where you currently are converge. Since you already have Apache installed you should already have Apache Bench.
You will find it under
.\apache\bin\ab.exe
in the zip file, if that is what you downloaded, it will be under
.\xampp\apache\bin\ab.exe
Solution 2 - Apache
You can download the Apache server zip files (a lot smaller in size compared to AMPP packages) from the following site
and unzip it. Find the bin folder; you will find ab.exe there.
Solution 3 - Apache
Here's some documentation on Using Apache HTTP Server on Microsoft Windows.
The Apache Bench is often called and refered to as ab.
Your Windows installation of Apache should contain a ab.exe and abs.exe file.
That'd be what you're looking for.
Solution 4 - Apache
ab is an independent file, runs without apache http. so install apache http, copy ab from bin folder and uninstall http server.
