Am I Missing something? Apache server on windows 98

Hi

I have been trying to install apache version 2 on a windows 98 system so that I
can integrate it with PHP and mysql.

However, I have not been able to get it up and running as a service.

Things I have done:
set up TCP/IP on my machine. tried various settings in the DNS field e.g.
192.168.0.1
127.0.0.1

then installed apache using every variation that I can think of: ----------- is
the name of the domain in the installation setup fields.

localhost - localdomain - admin@----------.com
localhost - 127.0.0.1 - admin@----------.com
-----------.com - server.-----------.com admin@---------.com

Despite trying the various start up settings and the console start from the
start menu I have not been able to get the service to start. I have also
tried
apache -k start
apache -n "mysettings" -t to test
from the DOS prompt with no luck.

Can anybody shed any light on what I might be doing wrong or is there a
fundamental error in my set up prior to installing Apache.

I will be very grateful to anybody who can help.

The problem is that you can't run services on 98.. You can only run services
on NT4, 2000, XP and 2003.. Services doesn't work on 95, 98, 98SE or Me..
There are rumors that you can run system services in a limited form on Me,
but there's no official support for that afaik.. So.. On windows 98, you'll
have to have that console.. Unless you program something to hide it..

Just start Apache in console... You get a doswindow, let this window open...
And Apache works. Now you should get the welcome screen when you look at
your website...

Find in your httpd.conf open this file with notepad or wordpad... Now you
can change your settings of your website, and in were your saved your
website
