[users@httpd] How to run Apache *without* writing to the registry or system drive?
Hello Apache,
I am brand new to Apache and stood my distance because of the lack
of a pretty good GUI for the Win32 systems.
I just downloaded apache_2.0.45-win32-x86-no_ssl and plan on running
it on an XP system. My question is, is it possible to run apache
without ever writing to the C:\ drive and *never* requiring the
registry to successfully run as secured as possible?
My C:\ (System partition) never saves data on shutdown and once back
up the C:\ drive is completely wiped and brand new. Nothing will
ever get saved to it. I prefer it this way as I only choose programs
which can run stand alone on my other partitions.
I am just curious if Apache can run and manually install its service
if necessary as I do log off and switch users. It isn't odd or
uncommon for me to leave my PC on for weeks at a time.
Thanks for any help on this :)

I had problems trying to simply run it with -k start (it kept noting no
Apache2 service installed) but thanks to -k install and -k start I got
Apache up with no problems...
Though I have the Apache 2 Bible, I couldn't find that very simple
answer... "apache -k install" and then "apache -k start"... Apache -k
start did not wish to work by itself.
I have one more question before I allow rest to kick in. Where can
I find a definitive list to all of the Apache switches for Windows?
Thanks for getting me started ;)

If you want to run it as a system service under win32, apache -k install
