I have just set up apache on my machine to see if I could reproduce this. This is what I did: Install apache from setup.exe $ cygrunsrv -I apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd -a -k -d "CYGWIN apache" (I have a global CYGWIN="binmode tty ntsec" in the system environment) Edit httpd.conf: Set ServerName to silence a warning Set User and Group to "#18" (Yes, I'm lazy, and no, I'm not going to be leaving this running!) $ cygrunsrv -S apache View the Apache test page in Internet Explorer. It works! (I did get a "Service has not started" at one point, but that was when I made a typo in httpd.conf. Info was dumped to /var/log/apache.log) I don't see how this simple success story will help you much, apart from confirming that it is possible with dll 1.3.18-1.
