| I have a real vexing installation problem of Apache on a fully paqtched box. The server was installed to a memory stick which was removed at the time I ran Registry First Aid. That process partially uninstalled the server to the point that I was unable to remove and reinstall in the convential manner. When I attempted to reinstall/repair, the error message said there was a preexisting copy on the box. I hen went throught the registry and removed all traces of Apache as well as any other potential problems elsewhere. Still, the install problem(s) exist. I would appreciate any advise on correcting the matter. |

cd to Apache's /bin at a command prompt and then
| Code: | net stop apache2.2
httpd -k uninstall
|
See if that doesn;t clean things up. Try to start at the command prompt
httpd
working now? If so, install service and start it again. |

{Gill} Thanks for the quick response. If I could get the product installed, this would certainly solve the issue. Unfortunatly, I can't even get it reinstalled....that's the point I get the error message. |

all you need is some of it on the hard drive.
Personally, use the Zip file here, manual install and it should work once the prior whatever that is holding onto it gone.
I assume this is the Apache service that is stuck... then again, maybe not. That's the bunkness of that MSI package at ASF .. that and a few other things is why all here do not use installers. Steffen could easily creatre one, but why?
Try from anywhere at the command line
net stop apache2.2
That command can be invoked outside of the Apache directory. If it says no service exists, then we need to look elsewhere. |
