Okay, The last message was premature (typical for a newbie). And sorry for the annoying questions...
I've stepped through more of the startup code and found that the service is getting started and then if (!strcasecmp(signal_arg, "start")) { ap_listen_rec *lr; /* Close the listening sockets. */ for (lr = ap_listeners; lr; lr = lr->next) { apr_socket_close(lr->sd); lr->active = 0; } rv = mpm_service_start(ptemp, inst_argc, inst_argv); exit (rv); where rv returns 0 and then exits. When I open the services window (win2k), the service displays started. I guess I'm a little lost about how I can debug my module, if I'm not running apache from within dev studio? Or am I now that the service is started? How do I step through a module's code? Jeff.
