1. Create a new local user named apache. I put it in the Users group. Add it to /etc/passwd using a command like:
> mkpasswd -l | grep apache >>/etc/passwd
The apache user was assigened to the existing None group so I left it like that.
2. Modify /etc/apache/httpd.conf to set:
User apache
Group None
3. Run:
> chown SYSTEM:SYSTEM /var/log/apache/*
> chown SYSTEM:SYSTEM /var/log/apache.log
Check that /var/log/apache/ and /var/run are writable by SYSTEM.
4. Run:
> cygrunsrv -I apache -d "Cygwin apache" -p /usr/sbin/httpd -a '-k' -e "CYGWIN=ntsec nosmbntsec binmode tty"
> cygrunsrv -S apache
No errors were reported.
5. Check the Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Services app (I'm on Win2k) to see if Cygwin apache is running.
6. Check if
> net stop apache
> net start apache
work.
7. Point your browser at your machine and see if you get the Apache default page.
Well that's all I remember doing anyway. Let me know if I'm missing anything.
So far it looks like everything is working. Thanks everyone for your help.

I've tried variations on the spaces and quotes in the command line but nothing has worked. Any ideas?
check file permissions.
cygrunsrv will start the httpd processes as SYSTEM, hence all logging
directory have to have write permissions for that user or group.
