NT 4.0 SP 5
>Description:
I installed the server in an other Directory than C:\Apache. I can start the Server directly by calling the EXE.-file. The Server is also running as a NT-Service as long as the directory C:\Apache\logs exists. After deleting C:\Apache\log the server can't run anymore as a service. The httpd.conf doesn't contain any path to C:\Apache.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the server to C:\Program Files\Apache. Delete C:\Apache. Install server as NT-service. Try to start the server.
