I checked the event logs and found that it's looking for .net framework DLLs and not finding them.. Event Type: Error Event Source: SideBySide Event Category: None Event ID: 32 Date: 1/18/2009 Time: 5:47:36 AM User: N/A Computer: XITXW01 Description: Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.CRT could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. Any idea if I can avoid installing the .net framework? Does mod_cache doesn't require it, so why is it asking for it now?

It succeeded and generated mod_cache.so. However, after replacing mod_cache.so with the updated one on my server, Apache refused to start. The message just says "The requested operation has failed!" and the log is empty. Even after commenting the LoadModule directive, it still fails to start. > anything in the error log or event viewer? -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
