Installing Apache HTTP Server

One helpful utility to have installed on your system is the Apache HTTP server. This will allow you to run scripts locally on your computer without requiring a web-based server environment.

In the initial chapters of this book, when we set up Apache Shindig and Partuza for OpenSocial development, we use a local HTTP server installation to run all of our scripts.
