Firewall Message Question

[buildingacomputer]

The message I got is "Apache HTTP server is trying to act as a server." Is this a legitimate action? Thanks.

Well, are you running Apache?

I don't even know what Apache is. Internet connection is through cable modem. I just installed Windows XP, drivers, and Zone Alarm fire wall. Now I am getting this message. Thanks.

Some programs require an internal server to work. For example, the nvidia hardware firewall on my machine. I'd allow it permission in ZA and then take a look at task manager. You should see an entry for apache.
