thanks for the replies, turns out it was a very sublte and sneaky problem. i had the path stmt incorrect for the error log directive should have been C:/apache2/logs/......, instead of C:/apache2/log/...... and that made the difference. it was strange because usually apache complains about a bad path statement in the startup, and the httpd -S and -f didn't seem to indicate any problems. bbxrider
