I also had the same two errors for service install & service start, plus
a load of other errors that flashed past very quickly which I think were
errors about configuration files not getting created.
All three sets of errors went away when I tried again with UAC turned
off. I'll send Bill logs of both installs (with and without UAC) for
comparison.

I installed the latest 2.2.4-ssl on Vista business. Log file attached
in a seperate email to wrowe. The following 2 command windows popped up
for service install and service start:

I've already overcome the difficulties of *installing* apache, much as
you describe below, and I also found that if you create a batch file to
run the MSI and then run that batch file as an administrator (using the
"runas" command) then things work better. I'll add this to the Wiki
later after I've double-checked it.
However, my problem is that the Apache service won't start. Using Apache
1.x I had it running in a command prompt (i.e. just typing
"apache.exe"), but the service wouldn't start. Using Apache 2.2.4, I
can't start it either way so far.
Do you actually have the server *running* on Vista, either as a service
or in a command prompt?

Hello,
---------------------------------
Installing the Apache2.2 service
(OS 5)Access is denied. : Failed to open the WinNT service manager
Note the errors or messages above, and press the <ESC> key to exit.
---------------------------------
First off, the apache install tries to create the conf directories and
subsequent conf files as the install progresses. Vista throws a fit
and wont create the files, presum. due to permissions. If you can,
grab the configuration files from a different install and copy
them across.
Secondly, to install as a service you can do one of two things. a)
create a bat file with "httpd -k install" and "run as administrator" on
this file. or b) goto the command prompt and do runas /noprofile
/user:pcname\user "httpd
-k install"
Hope that helps!
with best regards

compatibility with vista and add your observations there.
Steve - I'll give you another out that might be useful.
Because at this point it seems to be less-than-bugs, more-than-gotchas
to running vista (many people are, successfully) - let's start a tracking
page at http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Platform/WindowsVista for users to
collect observations.
