If this is your first time setting up a local server, then I would suggest using a package like Xampp or Wamp.

However, moving on to your question. You will need to locate C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation and follow this from the Apache guide:

After installing Apache, you must edit the configuration files in the conf subdirectory as required. These files will be configured during the installation so that Apache is ready to be run from the directory it was installed into, with the documents server from the subdirectory htdocs.

It needs to be somewhere within your document root. In your apache httpd.conf, locate DOCUMENT_ROOT, then place your file in that directory. You may also need to ensure that the web server has execute permission on your file.

You can create a folder inside the httpdocs folder. This is the default web root directory.
