[ms4w-users] Re: cannot start apache services

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hmmm, it is not getting any clearer to me :-)

Wrt the 3 batch files that come with MS4W, you only need to use 
apache-install.bat, and only use it once. If for some reason you want to 
restart Apache, you can use the restart batch file. If you want to get 
rid of MS4W, you use the uninstall one.

Bill, can you make a screendump of your Apache monitor 
(ms4w\Apache\bin\ApacheMonitor.exe) and send it to the list?

Can also check your services panel, and make a screendump of the 
properties tab of the two services?

Best regards,
Bart
