On Dell XPS 410 (2.4MHz dual core) 4GB RAM, Vista SP1, Norton 360, Counterspy.

Log error: The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> [Wed Jul 09 16:43:02 2008] [notice] Disabled use of AcceptEx() WinSock2 API

The service appears to be connected with the Mod_Rotate_Log.

I read posts on Event 3299 but do not understand how it applies. I see Apache likely was installed by Dell as the original video card was an NVidia. I changed the card to the ATI Radeon 1950.

There is no instance I can find of Apache.exe.

First question is do I need the Apache service? If so, where do I insert the information from the directive about this error?

I appreciate any assistance.

Best regards,

Mike

You mean this directive? Win32DisableAcceptEx
Anywhere in the global section outside of any <containers>

Thank you for your response.

Yes, that is the directive. However, I do not understand the parlance in your directions on how to utilize the information.

Do I need the Apache service in the first instance?

Well .. you do not need the service but you want to use it.

A Windows Service runs in the background regardless of whether or not a person is logged into the computer.

THe only other option with Apache is the console, you will have to be logged into the computer to use it, and to keep it running. Log out and the console goes away and Apache with it.

As far as Win32DisableAcceptEx, how about putting it toward the bottom right after

#
#EnableMMAP off
#EnableSendfile off
Win32DisableAcceptEx
