|
|
Hi,
I'm new to this forum and new to the Apache "world".
Yesterday I installed Apache2 on XP SP2 and it immediately showed up in the lower right corner and the blurb said that the service had started. However, when I started my PC this morning, no service was running and my attempts to start it failed. Can someone help me?
Thanks,
esm |

| Yes, I did make all the changes to the httpd.conf file. I would like to add that I have also MySQL and PHP installed, if that's important in that context. |

I typed httpd -S into the command window and this is what came back:
'httpd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. |

1. Reinstall apache
2. Make the configuration into the httpd.conf
3. Go to Start > Run > type cmd and press OK the type httpd -S and press Enter
4. If it says The Syntax is OK type httpd -k restart Enter
5. Else atach the configuration file here to help you |

I did that and the httpd command is still not recognized as a command. However, I think I found the problem. I went into All Programs --> Apache2 --> Control Apache server, a window pops up informing me about a syntax error in the httpd.conf file. I fixed that and now it works even after rebooting.
Thanks for the help.
