Re: httpd service not starting on Windows 2008 (64bit) through Microsoft Failover Cluster

[Prasanna Ram Venkatachalam <vpram86@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes Jonathan, Its normal in some cases. But i dont know whether we will get double slashes in "path to executable" of a service. I am not getting it in my machine for apache!. And -k runservice outside of quotes is also normal, whatever inside of double quotes is called and whatever is after that is passed as arguments to it.

 

Regards
Prasanna Ram

Is it normal for the backslashrs in the path to be doubled up like that?
Also why is the -k parameter outside the string delimiters?
