 Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2007 8:48 pm Post subject: Configuring Apache HTTP Server 2.2.4 |
 |
|
I'm having some problems with configuring the Apache HTTP Server
2.2.4. After installing it, I went to the Services Shortcut icon in
order to turn Apache on. But when I click on "Start the service," I
get a box that says Windows cannot do it. I believe I installed the
server correctly so am not sure what the problem could be. Any
suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Surely that's not the real error message. You need to be specific. What
OS?
- check to make sure nothing else is using port 80 (such as IIS).
- check the Windows system and application log for errors that might
provide clues.
- check the apache error log for clues.
- run httpd.exe from the command line to see if any errors are
displayed. |

This is the actual message I get with the box that pops up after I
click "Start the service" on Apache2 from the Services dialog box:
"Windows could not start the Apache2 on Local Computer. For more
information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft
service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific
error code 1."
Thanks. |

So, did you check the System Event Log? What does it say? Did you try
any of the other things I suggested? The clues are usually found there. |

How would I do this? I'm not sure where to find the System Event
Log. Is it under the Services box somewhere? Also, I didn't see IIS
listed in Services. I tried running httpd.exe from the "Run" command,
but it said Windows couldn't find it. The Os I'm using Windows XP
Pro. I have never worked with web servers before so this is all
completely new to me.
Thanks. |

Control Panel | Adminsitrative Tools | Event Viewer.

That's good, I think. I forget where it would be listed. You can check
under Add/Remove Windows components to see if it's installed.

You have to open a command window (type CMD at the Run Command slot),
then navigate to the apache\bin directory before running that command
at the command prompt.
Don't forget to use Windows built-in help system to find stuff you're
not familiar with. |
