First of all: I'm new to this stuff.
I installed apache yesterday (using apache_2.2.14-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi) on my window xp computer. I had it running in no time. After that I had the glorious idea of cleaning my register. This morning apache didn't run. I have tried everything, deleting, rebooting, reinstalling, nothing works.
When I reinstall apache using the msi everything seems to go alright until I get a command line comment that says the service is already running. In the browser however when I request http://localhost/ I get the message saying the server can't be connected.
The error log says:
Starting the Apache2.2 service
[Wed Jan 20 16:38:33 2010] [crit] (OS 3)The system cannot find the path specified. : Apache2.2: Failed to start the service process.
I have looked in all the httpd.conf files and they all point to where they should.
I would appreciate your help because I'm quite desperate. I scanned the first ten pages of this forum and didn't find an answer.
So thanks a lot in advance for any suggestions. |

The path for the service is not correct installed.
open a command line (cmd.exe) browse to the apache bin folder e.g.
uninstall the service and than install it again. Than there should be the right path.
Also I recommend a syntax check
C:\>cd "c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\bin"
C:\Programme\Apache Group\Apache\bin>httpd -k uninstall
C:\Programme\Apache Group\Apache\bin>httpd -k install
C:\Programme\Apache Group\Apache\bin>httpd -S |

Your prescription worked. My computer is feeling much better now. And I am very happy (although I feel a bit stupid, it wasn't really a difficult problem, I guess). The -k uninstall bit did the trick.
Thanks very, very, very much! |
