DO NOT REPLY [Bug 51913] New: httpd-2 64-bit Windows setup fails to parse own configuration

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51913

             Bug #: 51913
           Summary: httpd-2 64-bit Windows setup fails to parse own
                    configuration
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.19
          Platform: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: ilatypov@infradead.org
    Classification: Unclassified


I could not see Apache httpd-2 reacting to my changes of DocumentRoot of its
32-bit package installed in the 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.  Using
Process Explorer I figured that "-k runservice" executed the following command,

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin\httpd.exe" -d
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2"

I saw the -f option with a path to httpd.conf originally as well.

Running httpd.exe as a regular process while residing in the Apache directory
with the -f option pointing to the configuration file still worked.

I suspect that Apache configuration parser could not handle brackets after
seeing a suggestion to symlink the server directory to a simple path,

 http://jamesmcdonald.id.au/it-tips/32-bit-apache-on-windows-error

Another post refers to the work-around suggested in the above link describing
the issue as "annoying",


http://www.thoughtlabs.com/2011/03/25/how-to-set-up-apache-on-windows-7-to-support-facebook-secure-browsing/

So I created a directory symlink and changed all references to the "(x86)"
directory in configuration files with "c:/apache".

 c:
 cd \
 mklink /d apache "c:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2"

Then I stopped the service and restarted it again.

 C:\apache\conf>..\bin\httpd.exe -k start

This time I could see my own DocumentRoot taking its place in the browser after
cleaning its cache.

NB: I did not realize that "-k uninstall" followed by "-k install" will erase
my crafted configuration files.  The logs\install.log file showed me how
httpd.exe copied original files on top of my modifications.  So I learned to
save configuration files away from the Apache directories.

"Your" changes weren't seen because you modified httpd.conf as a regular user
with UAC enabled and system file virtualization in effect.

Not an httpd bug, and this is not a support forum, please take further
questions to the appropriate peer user support mailing list.
