[users@httpd] Turning on-off Apache service in Win XP Pro SP 3

[Jonathan Tremone <jo...@tremone.com>]

HI,

 

Thank you for the opportunity to be part of this group.  Using the wizard, I
installed Apache 2.2.9 (clean installation) using the selection "port 8080"
since I have another program that is using port 80.  The problem I'm having
is that I see the Apache logo in the task bar but Apache doesn't exist in
Windows XP PRO XP 3 "SERVICES" list so I can't manually turn on/off the
server.  I've looked at the error log and there doesn't seem to be any
errors.  Any assistance would be appreciated.  

 

Kind regards,

 

Jonathan Tremeon

Mmm, that sounds interesting.
A few questions, to shed a bit more light for potential helpers :
1) what do you mean above by "SERVICES list" ?
2) if you open a command window, and type "net start", in the list which 
appears, do you see anything that looks like Apache ?
3) if you know how to use the Registry Editor, do you see the Apache 
service at this location :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Apache2.2
?
4) if yes, can you make a screenshot of the right-side window and post 
it ? or, at least, tell us if you see a label like "DisplayName", and 
which value is at the extreme right of that line ?
5) you mention that you see the Apache logo in the task bar. What 
happens if you click on it ?
6) can you connect to your Apache with your browser ?
