Topic: Start "httpd.exe -k install" with runas but doen't

[veptune]

Hello,

I just get :
Attempting to start ./httpd.exe -k install as user "machine\user" ...

And the service is not created ...

I don't see Apache in service list, and the apache monitor see nothing.

Nothing in apache logs or event viewer.

My server is windows 2008 web edition.

When i start httpd.exe, everything works fine, apache run correcly.

Strange

Any idea ?

Thanks

To install the service, did you used the command httpd.exe -k install in a Dos window ?

And when you use that command, what do you get ?

Yes sure i use a dos prompt

I also use the "PowerShell" but i got the same message

[veptune]

If i don t use runas, i got :

(OS 5)Access is denied. : Failed to open the WinNT service manager

This is normal, as i saw on this forum, that's why i use runas

[Steffen]

As asked what response you get after you enter httpd.exe -k install at the dos prompt, you not clear above ? I assume you run it as administrator.

PS C:\apache2\bin> runas /noprofile /user:root "./httpd.exe -k install"
Enter the password for root:
Attempting to start ./httpd.exe -k install as user "machine\root" ...
PS C:\apache2\bin>

that's all

[Steffen]

Here I just:

Run cmd.exe as administrator and dos window appears.
Type in dos window httpd.exe -k install and service is installed.

If i do :
runas /noprofile /user:root "cmd"

I got my admin prompt, but when i do httpd -k install i still get

C:\Apache2\bin>httpd.exe -k install
Installing the Apache2.2 service
(OS 5)Access is denied. : Failed to open the WinNT service manager

This is strange because, the title of dos windows is "cmd (running as machine\root)

So i should not get this message, as the dos window is run as administrator

[veptune]

OK it works.

I did what you say.

Find cmd.exe and right click to select run as administrator

thanks

I thought "runas" was the same ...

[Steffen]

I am not aware of account/user root, only Administator here in 2008.

I think you should check your accounts.

I missed your post, perfect that it is working now.
