In 1.3 we did not need to specify a drive letter for ServerRoot and DocumentRoot paths but in 2.0 it appears we must specify the drive letter or Apache will not start as a service. (note: the 2.0.36 .msi install sets the drive letter so this limitation is not immediately apparent to those users).
Also, in 1.3 the -k stop/restart directives worked even if you started Apache from the command line. Now it appears that -k is only effective when running as a service. Were these changes intentional or did they slip in inadvertently? Allan
