[ms4w-users] cannot start apache services

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi Bill,

what is your second Apache, is it an old MS4W install?

What happens if you deinstall both, and then only install the new one.

httpd -k -uninstall -n Apache2
httpd -k -uninstall -n Apache MS4W Web Server
httpd -k -install -n Apache MS4W Web Server

?

Best regards,
Bart
