There are several lines you should change for your production environment:
Change line

To
Define SRVROOT “C:/Apache24”
listen to all requests on port 80:
Listen :80
ServerName localhost:80
Change DocumentRoot
From
DocumentRoot “${SRVROOT}/htdocs”
<Directory “${SRVROOT}/htdocs”>
To
DocumentRoot “C:\Apache24\htdocs”
<Directory “C:\Apache24\htdocs”>
Then save your file .
Go to C:\Apache24\bin
And run the ApacheMonitor.exe file
Check Apache is running or not in task manager
