     | 
 
  | 
 
I downloaded the apache 2.2 binarie with ssl from this site.
 
http://www.apachelounge.com/download/
 
 
But i cant start it, get the following error. (actually with every exe file within the apache directory)
 
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  | The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling this application may fix this problem. | 	  
 
 
Well i downloaded the zip a hundred times, but every time i get the same error.
 
 
Its a fresh windows 2003 standard SP1 32bit server installation. I also tried it on Windows xp 32bit SP2. Same error.
 
 
Hope someone can help me. |

Did you read the: Read me first!.txt ?
 
 
if so, did you install: Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package
 
(or .NET framework 2) ? |

The Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package is not the Framework. it installs only the neededC++  DLL's

ah ok, but it can't without? Because the official apache doesnt need it either.
 
 
And otherwise, is there on the apache download site a official version with ssl implented? I tried everything but cant get it working. |

The Apache compiled from Steffen WON'T run without! Because Steffen used a different compiler.
 
This is not the normal compiled Apache from Apache.org |

Is this one faster, or slower? Or no difference? And is it using more resources or less?
 
 
Sorry for the questions    |

There is no Apache binary with SSL from Apache.org.
 
 
The build from Apachelounge is build with the latest Microsoft C++ compiler and has quite some improvements over the very old one used by Apache.org. It produces more optimzed code and better memory management etc.
