Re: Apache wont start

[Deepak Vohra <dvohra09@xxxxxxxxx>]

Start the Apache server as a console application with

 

apache.exe -e debug

 

Check the System Event Log in Event Viewer.

Event Viewer is accessed with Administrative Services>Event Viewer.

 

Check the System Log and the Application Log.

 

 

Please let me know if you still get the error.

 

thanks,

Deepak

Hello List

after having upgraded from Apache 2.2.2 to 2.2.3, I had some problems:
- When I tried to start the newly upgraded Apache, it wouldn't start
because it said that the Apache 2.2 service was still running.
Restarting the computer did the trick and it has worked ...
- ... till now: I did some changes to my .conf file, after which I tried
to restart Apache... When I click 'start [the apache service]' it simply
gives me a black screen and it dissapears... I think this is due to a
problem in the .conf file, however instead of pointing to the error (so
I could debug it) it does completely nothing... When I commented out
everything that I modified after the upgrade, it still did the same,
reinstalling also did not work...
Looking at the error.log file:

What the heck does that mean? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
