For Windows:

A. Installing MS4W
1. Download ms4w2.2 from maptools.org

2. Extract ms4w2.2 into your root drive (E:\)

3. Run E:\ms4w\apache-install.bat. This would install apache2.2 as a service.

4. Edit E:\ms4w\Apache\conf\httpd.conf to reflect your webroot in “DocumentRoot” (E:\wwwroot\)

149 DocumentRoot "/wwwroot"
...
....
177 <directory>
    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    #   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
    # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    #
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
 
    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride None
 
    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

212 DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php index.phtml index.php3 index.cfm
....

5. Test apache, navigate to “http://127.0.0.1/”.

B. Configuring Apache2.2 with ColdFusion6.1
6. Since Apache2.2 was released after CF6.1 and CF7.0 then, it would only bind with Apache2.0.x. We need a new wsconfig.jar that would bind with Apache2.2.x. Read more about the technote:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=8001e97

Alternatively, you could download wsconfig.jar from http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/8001e97/wsconfig.zip

7. Backup your existing wsconfig.jar to wsconfig.jar.bak. Replace the wsconfig.jar.

8. Restart ColdFusion.

9. Remove existing connectors from D:\CFusionMX\bin\connectors\Remove_ALL_connectors.bat

10. Execute D:\CFusionMX\bin\connectors\Apache_connector.bat

@echo off
echo WARNING!  This will install the ColdFusion MX Apache Connector.
echo Press Control+C to abort.
pause
SETLOCAL
PATH=..\..\runtime\jre\bin;%PATH%
java -jar ..\..\runtime\lib\wsconfig.jar  -ws apache -bin "e:\\ms4w\Apache\bin\httpd.exe" -dir "e:\\ms4w\apache\conf" -map .cfm,.cfc,.cfml -coldfusion -v
ENDLOCAL

11. Restart Apache and ColdFusion. Browse to http://127.0.0.1/cfide/administrator/index.cfm

C. Installing Python2.4
1. Read Reference document from maptools.org install site

2. Download Python2.4 from http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4/python-2.4.msi. Download mod_python from mod_python-3.3.0b.win32-py2.4-Apache2.2.exe

3. Install Python2.4 in your root drive. (D:\)

4. Install mod_python-3.3.0b.win32-py2.4-Apache2.2.exe

5. Edit your Windows Environment Variables (System Variable: PATH) to include “D:\Python23″

6. Edit E:\ms4w\Apache\conf\httpd.conf

#For Python
LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so
 
<directory>
	AddHandler python-program .py
	PythonHandler test
	PythonDebug On
directory>
 
ScriptInterpreterSource Registry
SetEnv PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1
PassEnv PYTHONPATH

7. Restart Apache and test from http://127.0.0.1/pytest/test.py. If you see a “Hello World” web page from python then you are good to go. Sample python test page “test.py”:
E:\wwwroot\pytest\test.py

from mod_python import apache
 
def handler(req):
	req.content_type = 'text/plain'
	req.write("Hello World!")
	return apache.OK
