[users@httpd] Re: Upgrading from 2.2.10 to 2.2.19 appears to have messed up Windows service startup


The way I upgraded to 2.2.19 was first copying my configuration file
somewhere safe; then uninstalling apache from the servers; then start a
fresh install of apache 2.2.19.  You then need to copy your old
configuration file back to the server so that you don't need to waste
any more time.

Caveat:  I upgraded from 2.2.17 >> 2.2.19 so perhaps it was easy.

Ahh, thanks! That managed to jar my memory, and I realized I'd been 
using a non-default user for the service before the upgrade, which had 
naturally gotten messed up. So one simple fix later, and I'm back up and 
running.

Thanks to all for helping! :)
