I think this can be done through the Administrative Tools -> Services.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>You may also have to configure the Windows Firewall once the apache service is running to allow the apache service through it. I recall having to do this, but I have installed once, and am still happily using that installation.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>It may also be possible to change the network port that Apache is listening on, but I would try the above items first.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>There are many others with a better understanding than I, so I hope they might help as well.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>cheers</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Ben</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><DIV><DIV>On 31/05/2007, at 1:34 AM, oladayiye a.s wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV>Hi folks,</DIV> <DIV>I am a GIS analyst trying to learn my trade all over (that is what web mapping means), I am in the process of installing MapServer 9I'm using Tyler Mitchell's Web mapping as my guide), but I have problem setting up Apache, the service just wouldn't run. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I tried <A href="http://localhost/">http://localhost/</A> and what i get are general info on webservice and IIS - I have .Net and ASP installed on my system. i checked the Administrative Services and found that Apache service is not started.
