The user that apache2 runs as needs the following permissions on Windows 2000 (keep in mind they are inheritable to the subdirectories):
* "List Folder Contents" on the root directory of the drive itself (in my case "E:\"
* "Read and Execute" and "Read" on the bin\ directory in the apache root ("E:\Apache Group\Apache2\bin\")
* "Read" on the conf\ directory in apache root ("E:\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\")
* "Read" and "Write" to the logs\ directory in the apache root ("E:\Apache Group\Apache2\logs\")
* "Read" and "Rean and Execute" on the modules\ directory in the apache root ("E:\Apache Group\Apache2\modules\")
I'm willing to bet it'd need "Read" and "Read and Execute" for the cgi-bin\ directory if you use that, and "Read" on the manual\, errors\, icons\, and htdocs\ directories if you use those.
Of course, if I am blatantly wrong about any of this please correct the information, I'm trying to help anyone else who needs it but obviously I am no guru.

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 . "I'm not even getting that far with 2.0.54 on Windows XPsp2. I can run apache from a console window with no problem, but when I try to start it as a service, either from the console or from ApacheMonitor or the Services menu, I get the "service-specific error 1" but no other messages!--DLM --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
