Thanks for your help, solprovider.
HTTPD.EXE won't shut down when I turn my computer off. And I see no mechanism by which I could properly shut it down. I keep having to do an "end task" on it. Google search on this problem indicates that Apache2 simply isn't right for Windows98se. Hence I want to uninstall it. But I did manage to uninstall it myself, finally. It was part of a WAMP package. Therefore, Apache did not show up in my list of programs. But the WAMP package as a whole did appear on that list. So I just opted to uninstall that WAMP package. No more HTTPD shut-off problems now. I suppose if I ever commit to running a server it will be on a more contemporary OS. I do have an XP/Ubuntu machine in the living room. I just hate using that one 'cause it's not at a nice work-desk. > Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2008 01:42:27 -0400 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: users@httpd.apache.org > Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] How can I uninstall Apache2 from Windows98? > > On 9/27/08, Luke Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I accidentally installed Apache2 on my Windows98se computer and I want > > to remove it because Apache2 is not compatible with Windows98.
