apache 2.0.36 service problem with W2K

[JMassengill <ma...@jlm.dns2go.com>]

     I am running Apache 2.0.36 on a Windows 2000 Server on a home built
Pentium 200MMX that has a Gigabyte GA-586-HX motherboard with 64MB of ram
installed. (yes, I know, it isn't a power house of a system) It has one
Seagate 4.3 GB SCSI Hard drive (the boot drive) and one Maxtor 15GB IDE Hard
drive.
     My problem is this.  Last night I downloaded from windowsupdate and
received two files, one was the Windows Critical Update Notification tool
and the other was Q320206: Security Update.  The windows critical update
notification tool is used to inform the system user that there is new
updates available on the widows update site.  The Security update resolves
the "Authentication Flaw in Windows Debugger can Lead to Elevated
Privileges" security vulnerability.
     After finishing the download, a window popped up on my screen asking if
i wanted to reboot the computer.  I clicked on "NO" and went to bed and left
the server running.  This morning when I rebooted my server, the apache
service popped up this error message in the windows 2000 system log:
                           "Windows could not start the Apache2 on Local
Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log.
                                 If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact
the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code1"
   I have searched the web and read all the documentation that came with
Apache 2.0.36 with no results.
   I have reinstalled Apache 2.0.36 and I have removed the two items were
downloaded with no change in results.
   I am new to Apache
Thanks in advance for the help.

AH....A good suggestion. A few days ago, on my error log I kept seeing
errors that said "httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous
Apache run?"
I didn't know if someone was trying to change my httpd.pid so i set the file
properties to read only. When I rebooted this morning, it was the first
reboot since setting the httpd.pid file properties to read only.  When I
looked in the error log, I found a entry for the above error and also an
entry saying "Apache.exe could not log pid file". So I changed the file
properties back and the service started the next time I tried it.
I guess the KISS (keep it simple stupid) rule applies in this case
Thanks for the suggestion, it really did help

Did you check the eror_log and access_log to see why Apache didn't start?
