I am trying axis2c for the first time, using a Windows Vista Business machine
with all updates installed (Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001).
I have unpacked the binary version of the latest stable axis2c windows version
(1.6.0) into C:\ws\axis2c and have set environment variables including
AXIS2C_HOME and have updated PATH both for lib and for bin. I've tried both
forward and backward slashes to see if that mattered at all.
;%AXIS2C_HOME%/bin;%AXIS2C_HOME%/lib;
and
;%AXIS2C_HOME%\bin;%AXIS2C_HOME%\lib;
At a command line I am able to successfully type
axis2_http_server.exe -h
and it does find the executable and gives the help information. So the PATH
variable seems updated.
However, even if I cd to the bin directory, although typing it without the -h
does attempt to start the server, I get errors in the log and it doesn't start.

Short of abandoning the binary version and starting from scratch from source,
I'm not sure what else to change or to try that would enable the binary version
to work. Yet I expect surely it does work for others on at least some versions
of Windows.
What might I be missing? Thanks in advance for helping a newbie get off the
ground.
