Hello Everybody, I checked my services and my find is Apache is installed and is suppsed to start in 'Automatic' mode following is the entry in the Services Name Description Status Startup Type LogOn As Apache Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) ------ Automatic Local System However, the services does not start automatically, when I logon as an user or as an administrator. I tried starting 'Apache' manually by going into the installed software at the bottom of the taskbar. While logged on as a user, it forces me to start the service as an 'administrator', but then asks for the password. As far as password is concerned for the administrator for Apache, "I do not have any password" and it fails to start 'Apache'. When I log on as administrator, even then it does not start Apache. When I try to start Apache manually, it gives error message, "Requested services failed." I know I am missing one small point. And I know out there is somebody, who must have encountered the same problem. Please help. nagrik.
