Does ab on apache need to be installed?

ab is Apache's own website stress testing tool. It is very simple and convenient to use. It can not only perform website access stress testing on Apache servers, but also on other types of servers. For stress testing, such as nginx, tomcat, IIS, etc., you caninstallas needed.

1: Installation

The first step is to download and install it.
Here we only talk about downloading and installing under window
Official download address:, (https://www.apachehaus.com/cgi-bin/download.plx)

After the download is completed, unzip it
I will unzip it directly to apacheab on the d drive
Modify the port configuration of the conf/httpd.conf file in the root directory of the decompression, the default is Port 80 should be occupied and cannot be installed. You can change it to another one by yourself. I changed it here to port 8088.

Extract the file to a local folder. If it is not unzipped in c drive, you need to set parameters:

I decompressed it to the D drive, and you need to set parameters. Open conf->httpd.conf with a text editor.

There are three places that need to be modified:

Start testing

If you need to You can enter ab test in any path. You can add the bin directory path to the path of the environment variable.

I opened the command line in the bin directory.
Note that you need to add / after the domain name. path

ab -n 100 -c 10 http://www.baidu.com/s

-n represents the number of requests, -c represents the number of concurrency.
s is path, indicating that the test address is specified. If not specified, an "ab: invalid url" error may be reported.
In addition, -t indicates the number of concurrency and requests within s

The tested data is as follows:
