Hi,
I successfully have installed and have been using cygwin on my
windows XP.
Just recently I decided to add a web server. After installing the
apache2,
it complains of 'Bad system call':
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/apache2
$ /usr/sbin/httpd2.exe
Bad system call
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/apache2
$ /usr/sbin/httpd2.exe -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.2
Server built: Jun 6 2006 13:28:20
However, when starting the apache1.3.33, I have no problem. But due
to security,
I'd like for the apache to be up-to-date.....You guys have any
suggestions?....thanx....
Read the readme? Sounds to me like apache2 requires IPC via Cygserver.
I would think the readme would talk about this (don't have apache2
installed
myself so I don't know for sure but then again Max is a pretty
thorough guy).
If you're looking for more info on Cygserver, see:

"ntsec" is the default and has been for some time. Adding it to the CYGWIN
environment variable pretty much is only useful for "documentation" purposes
but adding it causes no harm either. However, in case there's any confusion,
it is possible and permissible to add more than 1 option to the CYGWIN
environment variable.
