[ms4w-users] cannot start apache services

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

This is a not an MS4W problem, but an Apache/Windows XP problem, see 
also here:

http://apache2triad.net/forums/archive/o_t__t_2718__wsasocket-failed-to-open-the-inherited-socket..html

Check if you can get it working using this thread.

Best regards,
Bart
