Setting up a server with Python

I'm trying to use this commmand:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

but it's not working. I'm guessing that it isn't working because I'm running that through Windows Command Prompt. How does one make that function?

The error I am getting from Command Prompt is: "'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

bluebird7 is right. You need to add python to your windows path. You can try this temporary alternative, type in cmd:

c:\python27\python.exe -m SimpleHTTPServer

The upper command will only work for python 2.7 and python needs to be installed here: c:\python27
