That should either work (in which case your problem isn't apache at all) or give a meaningful error message. Note that if it works you won't see anything in the command window, but you'll be able to point your browser at http://127.0.0.1/ . (I think the executable in the windows package is called "apache", but if not, substitute the right name in the above). -- Nick Kew Available for work, contract or permanent http://www.webthing.com/~nick/cv.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
