Subject: [users@httpd] issues with apache
for windows
I had been running the 2.0.54 version of Apache on Windows
XP Pro for several months without any major issues. The server is configured
to start as a windows service at boot time.
Recently, I was making changes the the conf file which of course required
restarts of the server for the changes to take effect. The conf file is valid;
I ran the server with the -t option. However, the server will not start
now on boot or from the normal start controls in the apache monitor or from
the apache secton of the Start->All Programs menu.. There are no messages
of any kind written to the error log when Apache tries to start in this
manner. When trying to start it from the windows services GUI, I get a message
that the server-specific error code is 1.
I've uninstalled 2.0.54 and installed 2.0.55, but have the same
results.
The server will start if I start it manaully fr om a Windows Command
Prompt terminal using
"C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin\Apache.exe" -w -n "Apache2" -k
start
However, this will not do as a long term solution.
In the past, I have had issues when restarting the server, but this has
always been resolved by a reboot (again not a great solution, but something I
could live with since I don't need to interactively restart the server very
much). However, rebooting does not resolve the issue now.
Any ideas?
