How to install Apache Bench on Windows 7?

Question

I want to install Apache Bench on Windows, can someone tell me which MSI to get?

I installed MSI, but it seems to have installed the Apache http server.

I just need to run Apache Bench since I am testing an asp.net IIS application.

Answer 1

It sounds like you don't want to install Apache, but you want Apache Bench . Can I recommend XAMPP ? Download the versions in zip or 7zip format (much more than regular Apache, but you do not need to install it). Unzip the download.

This is what I would recommend, and where you are currently converging. Since you already have Apache installed, you should already have Apache Bench.

You will find it under

.\apache\bin\ab.exe 

in a zip file, if this is what you downloaded, it will be under

 .\xampp\apache\bin\ab.exe 

Answer 2

You can download Apache server zip files (much smaller compared to AMPP packages) from the following site

Download Apache Haus

and unzip it. Find the bin folder; you will find ab.exe there.

Answer 3

Here is some documentation on Using Apache HTTP Server in Microsoft Windows .

Apache Bench is often called and called ab .

Your Windows Apache installation should contain the file ab.exe and abs.exe .

This is what you are looking for.

Answer 4

ab - independent file, works without apache http. so install apache http, copy ab from the bin folder and delete the http server.
