I installed Apache as a service as normal, then tried to run it. It ran...but it won't read the httpd.conf file. Even changing the service to call httpd.exe -k runservice -f (path to conf file) *does not work*. I can only run httpd manually, from the command prompt, with the -f parameter, and get it to read the conf file. Why??? FYI, nothing shows up in the error log to explain this. Also, apparently the registry key pointing to the proper path IS set (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Apache\2.2.11 ServerRoot) but isn't being used.
