[users@httpd] Starting Apache2 on Win2k as another user

[Stephen Cook <sclists@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to get Apache2 (v2.0.54) to run as a service on Windows 2000 
as a specific user ("apacheuser", original name huh?), which only has 
rights to read and execute on Apache2 root directory, and full access to 
the logs directory.

When I start the service as local user (when I am logged in as admin) it 
works fine, but when I change the service to log on as "apacheuser" it 
doesn't start. There is a message in the Event Viewer that says "The 
Apache2 service terminated with service-specific error 1." and another 
message that says "The Apache service named  reported the following 
error: Apache.exe: could not open document config file 
bin/conf/httpd.conf     . "

This is from the standard Windows Installer install for version 2.0.54, 
I have no idea why it would look for the configuration file in 
"bin/conf/" instead of just "conf/" (and copying the conf directory into 
bin doesn't help at all, so I wonder if that is the real problem).

Doesn anyone have any idea what could be wrong?  Is there some other 
information you'd need?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
