Hoi Kees,

meanwhile I determined that my laptop did something (whatever?) to prevent
the service "Apache2" from being installed. It just did not appear in the
list of services - and I did install apache a few more times (stopping virus
protection and other maybe disturbing programs). It just didn't install this
service.

I then deinstalled everything and downloaded + installed apache 2.2.3. And
now, een groot wonder, the service apache2.2 was installed and could be run!
A thing I will never understand as the earlier version runs flawless on my
pc which has the same Windows XP, the same antivirus program etc. etc.

The problem I have now is installing my virtual hosts - for this I started a
new thread.

Hartelijk bedankt voor de moeite!!

Best Regards,
Henriette, Hamburg/Germany
