Subject: Re: Apache 2.2.16 stops running on a Windows 2008 R2 server, 2.4 install won't run

Hello,
I had Apache 2.2.16 running for a few years on my 2008 R2 server without any problems. I left for vacation on 10/31 and found that upon my return, beginning that same day (10/31), the Apache server could not start and a 1067 error was returned.
I guess the 1067 error is that the service exited immediately? Yes the error appeared (past tense since following my uninstall of 2.2.16, this error no longer appears) when restarting the service in services.msc or when performing a httpd.exe at the CLI
Check the Windows event log. The event log shows entries in the System log that state the same thing “the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)”. No other information in these log entries.
See if httpd will run in a console Window (or else write useful error information to the console). By console window you mean the CLI/command line interface? That is how I am attempting to run httpd.exe as I haven’t installed 2.4 yet so there is no Apache service following my uninstall of 2.2.16.
I searched the Windows logs and performed some other research including confirmation that no other web server exists on this server (a “netstat –an” returns no port 80 listener) before uninstalling 2.2.16 and attempting to install 2.4. I extracted the .zip to C:\Apache24 and modified the related PATH statement to reflect this location. At first when I tried to launch httpd.exe I saw an error stating MSVCR110.dll is missing. As I could find it nowhere on the server’s HD I downloaded it to the C:\Apache24\bin folder. Now when I attempt to launch httpd.exe or run httpd.exe –k install I get the error “The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).”
IIUC those Microsoft libraries need to be properly installed, and they get found via the registry instead of the usual DLL search. You also need to install one that matches the architecture of your Apache httpd build (32-bit or 64-bit). I have the x64 VC++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable installed (have x64 Apache v 2.4) and tried doing a repair of that install – downloading the most recent VC version and running a repair, and I still get the 0xc000007b error.
I have researched this error but cannot find any information related to Apache. I see that the Apache INSTALL.log file references an .msi download (Windows Installer) so I would like to try installing it using that method. However I cannot find an .msi download on any of the Apache download sites listed on apache.org including the Apache Lounge. The application we use the Apache server for, is a network graphing utility called Cacti. I have posted on that forum about this issue but I have received no response thus far. We have been without this network utilization data, which we need to effectively manage our network, since 10/31.
Any assistance is MUCH appreciated.
Thank you,
