Hello,
Using Apache 1.x I had it running in a command prompt (i.e. just typing
"apache.exe"), but the service wouldn't start.
I never tried 1.x. For myself I think it is out of date.
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?
The apache is running as service. Maybe it is inportant that I have tested
that on
RC 2. Not on the final version of Vista.
Just out of interest in the light of my other mails, do you have User
Account Control (UAC) switched on or off? If you have have it on, do
you recall if you've ever had it switched off?

Hello,

Installing the Apache2.2 service

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!
