Hi

Here is a solution for anyone who was having trouble with this issue,
getting apache to run as a service, as mentioned on the following
posts:

Here are the errors that appeared in my own apache error log:

[Mon Aug 30 14:07:06 2004] [notice] Parent: Created child process 3336
[Mon Aug 30 14:07:06 2004] [crit] (OS 10050)A socket operation
encountered a dead network. : alloc_listener: failed to get a socket
for 0.0.0.0
Syntax error on line 120 of C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Listen setup failed
[Mon Aug 30 14:07:07 2004] [crit] master_main: create child process
failed. Exiting.
[Mon Aug 30 14:07:07 2004] [notice] Parent: Forcing termination of
child process 2538120

And the solution: if you are running McAfee security, you need to
uninstall the Privacy Service ONLY. There is no need to uninstall the
AntiVirus or Firewall.

Much relief once i figured out what was going on.

hope this helps

well actually no it doesnt help :(
running win2k apache 2 no virus or firewall software as i am behind a router
with built in virus and firewall. It tries to install and then complains
there is no service installed. When i run the apache monitor and try to
start the server, it complains and tells me to terminate or debug the
application.
