Posted: Sat 12 Nov '05 22:05 Post subject: Uninstalling Apache 1.3.33 as a Service |
|

Hello,
I have an uninstall problem.
I am just starting with WAMP and first downloaded and installed Apache 1.3.33.
I then decided to go with the more recent Apache 2 release for Windows.
After uninstalling Apache 1.3.33, it still showed up as a service. I then deleted the Apache folder containing 1.3.33 and upon reboot, CHKDSK found corrupted attributes, etc, that it fixed successfully. Even after this reboot and corruption fix, Apache 1.3.33 still showed up as a service. (Under File/Options in the Services window/dialog, my console is using 0 bytes to store console changes in my profile, so Disk Cleanup does not give me the option to "Delete Files" from here.)
I then reinstalled 1.3.33 exactly where it was to begin with(default) in hopes that I could properly uninstall it in some special way that applies to services. However, I can find no documentation on how to do this.
Can anyone help me out with this simple task? I currently have Apache 1.3.33 and Apache 2X installed as services on my computer. They both work properly. I would like to uninstall 1.3.33 cleanly, so that it disappears from my service list.
Thanks in advance.

thanks. I didn't see the command line to remove an apache service buried in this doc.
I am running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 and all the latest patches/security fixes installed. I am planning on developing locally on my machine and then uploading to a webhost that I have yet to choose/purchase.
thanks again for your help.

hello.i think,that you need a simple .bat file,there is the code:
