 Posted: Thu 27 Jul '06 3:47 Post subject: vista permissions problem |
 |
|
I don't know if this should be posted here, or on a Microsoft forum, but I figured someone else may have had the same problem.
I am installing Apache 2.2.2 on Windows Vista Beta 2 (Build 5384). At the end of the installation, I get this error message in a DOS-box:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
then and error box, saying the installation was completed successfully (go figure) followed by another DOS-box saying:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Wed Jul 26 20:45:22 2006] [error] (OS 2)The system cannot find the file specifi
ed. : No installed service named "Apache2.2".
Note the errors or messages above, and press the <ESC> key to exit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just started using vista a couple days ago, and never used apache for windows before (been using it under linux for several months) so I'm pretty clueless here. Thanks in advance. |

I presume that you are using the MSI file from ASF for Apache 2.2.2.
Any errors showing up in the Event Viewer?
It looks like MS might have changed the Services 'back-end', if so, you might be out of luck trying to use the MSI - not sure though. Check the Apache CONF file, and make sure your paths are quoted and utilize foreslashes (ex: "C:/Apache2/conf"). Once you are sure your CONF file is well set - Try this and see if you encounter errors:
1. Open a DOS/command prompt and navigate to the bin folder under the Apache root.
2. run this: httpd.exe -k install
-k install installs Apache as a Service, so if your CONF file is error-less and it still will not install - I would say you have a compatibility issue.

That is the new security rule from Vista. Even when you login as Administrator you don't have the rights from a Administrator untill Vista ask for. It is like under Linux when you can not login as root but when you need root persmission it ask for the root password and it run programms with su / sudo.
Also there is the issue, that Vista is still beta!
Try to start Apache not as service and start it by hand in the cmd.
As pnllan said, try httpd -k install |

I've managed to get around this..
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"
Easy huh? :@) |

|
|
| I, too, have the same problem installing Apache 2.2.3 on Vista RC-1. I initially tried installing IIS, but I have an issue where no "Windows Features" will install correctly. I wanted to have a simple website, so I thought if I can't use the allegedly built-in HTTP server, I'd try Apache. I get the same dreaded "(OS 5)Access is denied. : Failed to open the WinNT service manager" error. Trying the suggestions in this thread were to no avail, unfortunately. Perhaps I'm just stuck until MS can figure out why I can't install IIS properly (I did submit an error report, several times). |

| Another method is to start the command prompt as a administrator. After that you can install the service with: "httpd -k install" or "apache -k install". |

I don't have any problems installing it on RC2 (5744) of course without UAC... That thing asks even 5 times to rename folder...
I am tired of saving everything to server I want to set up everything in Vista like I did it before on XP. The problem I have, that Apache throws errors, that port is already in use. But that isn't correct, tried several different ports and every time the same. Any ideas what should I do in this situation?
I even tried lighthttpd, but it had the same problem. I don't have router, I am using ADSL, all ports are wide open, firewall is turned off right now. As I said before on Windows XP it was easy to set up and work with it. |

try netstat -b to see if there is an application that listen on Port 80. Try to disable the Windows firefall and defender. Post results again!  |

You don't need to uninstall skype. You can set it to a different Port  |

The only problem I was looking in Windows or Apache, tried everything and now it's Skype...  I even couldn't think that it is using 80 port... (I think this is little stupid) |

Sorry for the double post, I am writing it because people won't see that there is something new if I edit my old post.
After updating to the new versions, I have some problems. Now Apache 2.2.3 + PHP 5.1.6. Any ideas why it doesn't work now?
All paths to the files are correct...
P.S. I am using manifest and new DLL for Apache from this site.
EDIT: As I can see no one knows what problem could be... |

Trial an Error has led to frustartion
But the good news is I know what Line is Causing it maybe some one like MR. Bond can show me what is wrong
The error it gives is:
it gives a syntax error on line 117 of httpd.conf
Invalid command 'PHPdir' , perhaps misspelled or defined by module not included in server configuration
the line that it refers to is PHPdir "C:\php5
I am running Window Vista and Have given full permissions to php5
any ideas? thanks for the help |
