[users@httpd] Running Apache httpd as a service on Windows Vista

[Steve Hay <st...@uk.radan.com>]

Has anybody else tried running Apache httpd (either 1.3.x or 2.2.x) as a 
service on Windows Vista?

I need to run 1.3.x on Vista and prefer to run it as a service, but when 
I try to start the service (after installing 1.3.37) I get error 1067: 
The process was terminated unexpectedly.

The configuration file must be set up correctly because I can run 
apache.exe okay in a command prompt.

I also tried 2.2.4, but the service again fails to start, this time 
giving service-specific error-code 1. I can't start httpd.exe in a 
command prompt this time either, so maybe something else is wrong?

(The installer couldn't put the configuration file in place, so I copied 
the default/httpd-win.conf file into place and changed all mention of 
@@ServerName@@, @@Port@@ and @@ServerRoot@@ to the appropriate values 
(using forward slashes in the paths), so I think the configuration is 
OK. Is there anything else that I've forgotten?)

I'm logged in as an Administrator, and I've set the "Run as 
administrator" option on the apache.exe/httpd.exe files.

I logged this issue as bug #41611 in February, but haven't had any reply 
yet.
