Do I need to register a domain name before I insta

I have downloaded Apache for the Windows operating system and have read the installation documentation and I have a question: Do I need to register a domain name before I install Apache?

In the installation documentation for Apache, it reads:

Quote:

quote:Run the Apache .msi file you downloaded above. The installation will ask you for these things:

(#1) Network Domain. Enter the DNS domain in which your server is or will be registered in. For example, if your server's full DNS name is server.mydomain.net, you would type mydomain.net here.

Do I need to register a domain name before I install Apache?

Apache has VirtualHost directive, so you serve say, yahoo.com requests from a directory yahoo you've, say, in /wwwroot. You don't need register a domain, you are installing Apache 2 to your local machine. Just enter localhost for server name or domain and postmaster@localhost for e-mail.

What's really important is you need set http.conf correctly. And change Web publishing service of IIS to port, say, 8080, if you install Apache for port 80. You usually, use PHP, Perl and MySQL installation with Apache.

Cheer up :)
