OK a server in the office just died so to give me a test platform I just installed Apache on my desktop machine. So far so good and all seems to work. Then I install PHP, mysql etc and make some config changes. At this point I stop Apache so that it will restart and pick up the new changes to the config, except that rather than stopping apache it killed the entire windows machine and rebooted windows. That definitely achieved what I wanted but it's bit more extreme than I need. Any idea why this should behave this way and how I can stop it doing it?
Setup is Apache 2.2.22 on Windows Xp SP3, I've also installed PHP 5.2.17 and MySQL 5.5.20. Though I don't beleieve they are at fault as it was stopping Apache to pick up those items which showed the problem. It shows this behavior whether I use the Apache monitor to stop Apache 4or use NET STOP apache2.2. It also showed the same behaviour if I stopped the service from services.msc, although that was less consistent.
So does any kind soul out there have any ideas as to why it would do this and how do I stop it? |

Hello
I had the same problem running Apache 2.2.21 on xp.
It turned out to be a corrupted VC9 run time install.
You need to totally remove VC9 from the machine and install again. I would do a check disk before the reinstall to make sure all is well.
Hope this helps,,, if not post a copy of conf and php.ini file a i will have a look,, but i think its your VC9 install.
Good luck.

Hi,
I had the same issue a while ago when i had XAMPP 1.7.3 installed.
When i was trying to stop Apache (from the Control panel) it automatically rebooted my entire system.
After doing some digging i found out that Zone Alarm was the culprit. So if you have it installed just manually stop Zone Alarm before attempting to stop Apache.
You could also check out the Windows Event Viewer and see if you find any useful hints in there.
