Hi,
I installed Apache and got it to install. I can't get it to run. I went to services in Windows 11 and clicked o Apache24 then clicked start. Nothing. I am looking for some help with this.
Thanks in advance
Mark

Hello mathman, a couple things you can check.

1.Have you installed the newest C++ Redistributable?
2.Is there any data written to the apache log file?
3.Is there any error related to the service in the windows Event Viewer?

Before install and run apache as service you must check:
1. run cmd.exe
2. from console run httpd.exe directly from it installation path folder -> bin without any keys, sample "C:\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe"

If any startup error is occur, it been writen in the console window. Other way you seen clean black window, it mean that all good and apache started correctly.

I have a number of redistributable files on my computer from 2003 to 2015. My log files are empty except the install.log.
When I click start in the services I am told to go to the event viewer.

Ok, try to advance together,

Right now I followed a few steps on my computer running Windows 11 Pro 22H2 (22621.1992):
1. Download and install VC_redist.x64.exe from here https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/VC_redist.x64.exe
2. Download httpd-2.4.57-win64-VS17.zip from here https://www.apachelounge.com/download/VS17/binaries/httpd-2.4.57-win64-VS17.zip and unpack it to "C:\Apache24". There is no any changes to the default configuration.
Download links posted on the https://www.apachelounge.com/download/

I tried running "C:\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe" from the console, it started succesfully with a non-critical error "AH00558: httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using fe80::a924:f85e:5cc8 :beb9.Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message"
I checked the work by typing http://127.0.0.1 in the browser and view the amazing "It works!"

Checked the installation of the service "C:\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe -k install". The service installed correctly, I successfully launch it from the Computer Management interface.

Result: Apache is compatible with the current version of Windows 11 and can be run right out of the box with no configuration changes required.

You must run the service installation procedure as an administrator:
Find the cmd.exe file on your computer, right-click on it -> run as administrator, install the service from the console window that starts up.

My suggestion is to install apache with the default configuration, and then change the configuration step by step and check that Apache starts correctly after each change. There is no easy way here.

I hope this post is helpful
