Problem Starting Apache

I'm having trouble starting apache from windows. When I try to start
it from Apache Monitor I get "The Requested Operation has Failed!"
When I start it from services I get "Windows could not start the
Apache2. For more information review the system event log. If this is
a non-microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to
service-specific error code 1."

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Did you do as the message suggested and review the system event log?
Did you check the apache error log?

I think the error log is in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\logs
\error.log. Where should the system event log be?

Control Panel | Admin Tools | Event Viewer

It doesn't list apache in the event log. I tried it yesterday and the
last day thats in the error log is January 15, 2007.

In that case, I'm out of ideas. Every time I've had apache be unable to
start, there had been some clue either in the apache error log, or in
the Windows System or Application logs.

Open an MS-DOS window, "command prompt" for newer NT systems,
move to your Apache directory, run Apache from a command line
and observe returned messages, if any.

Chances are you have a bad entry in your httpd.conf file.

Thanks! I fixed the problem with the php module!
