When you run httpd on the command line, there is no output. Start httpd on the command line and wait a minute to make sure it is done starting up, then open a browser to localhost and see if a page comes up.
I have seen the "Incorrect function" error in two cases: 1. The port is already in use. Try changing the config to listen on a different port and see if it starts up. 2. The user that the server is running as does not have permission on the installation folder. - Y On Tue, May 12, 2015 at 4:11 PM, Jim Walls <j...@k6ccc.org> wrote: > Thank you for that suggestion.
