I do not have a file called httpd.exe -k install. I have just httpd.exe.
What am I doing wrong?

thanks

Yeah, I tried that. it did not work. I tried turning off firewall. Nothing. I double checked my config and it all looks correct.

So you on a console (cmd.exe) you browsed to apache path and installed it as service?

e.g.

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cd\
C:\>cd Apache2
C:\Apache2>cd bin
C:\Apache2\bin>httpd -k install


If you did that apache should start as a service after restarting windows. Than you don't have to start it by hand.
If you didn't have installed apache as service you can also start it by hand with only httpd.exe
Than you can try http://localhost and http://localhost:8080 (depends on our Listen parameter in your httpd.conf

Still trouble? What is in your error.log? e.g. C:\Apache2\logs\error.log

If you still have a question please ask again.
