Hi,
I cannot install / uninstall Apache 2.2.3 server :
When I try to reinstall it, it won't install : the installer gives only the "repair" and "remove" option, and for both I get this error :
"Internal error 2753 httpd.exe"
Is there a solution to fix that?
Thank you,
Patrick |

| Where did you download Apache? Did you download a *.msi file? |

Please download a msi from a mirror and try again. Do you have installed the newest version from microsoft installer?
Or you can follow the setup from here, which will work

Hi,
It doesn't work.
You mean the ?
And installing the apache (not msi) will not let me remove current apache (msi) (even after doing the "httpd -k uninstall").
I don't have the current apache (msi), it's just hasn't uninstalled completely, so I cannot reinstall the msi. The error comes after I do "repair" or "remove" with the msi.
Thank you,
Patrick |

You could give this a try from a command window: | Quote: | | msiexec /fav apache_2.2.3-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi |
where apache_2.2.3-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi is the original .msi you installed from.
This instructs the Windows installer to refresh all the installed files in your Apache installation.

That's odd. It sounds like Apache 2.2.3 was installed from a .zip file on top of an Apache 2.2.3 installed from a .msi.
Here's another tactic you can try. I don't know if it will fix your situation, since I've never had error 2753 before - but it has worked to clear up some .msi install problems for me occaisionally.* If the Apache Monitor is running in your System Tray, right-click and Exit it.
* Make sure the Apache service is stopped.
* Delete everything from your Apache directory except the three subdirectories \conf, \logs, and \htdocs
* Use Control-panel Add/Remove Programs to Change Apache 2.2.3 and choose Repair
* If Repair is successfull - you can then use Control-panel Add/Remove Programs to Remove Apache
Hope this helps.

I have not an apache directory for the apache that I have problem.
For that msi version, not everything is gone, cause apache msi is not able to install again ("internal error"!).
In add/remove programs, I have apache listed, but there's no button ("remove", "modified", ...). |

| Just delete the old Apache directory and install Apache again. Apache will create a new directory and will no longer show the 'internal error 2753' |
