I require Apache web server 2.2 in particular to be installed on my Win 7 32 bit machine. I followed the installation process. But after the installation is completed, the apache monitor displays : "no services installed" and also in the services.msc list, the apache service is not displayed. I am unable to find the problem. Please help.

Did you download that apache version from apache.org? Did you install the msi as Administrator?

Ya I downloaded the apache version from apache.org only and about the admin access, I want to tell you that I work from my company system and on request, they have given me admin access too. So that qualifies me as the full administrator I guess so because I can install almost every other software without any hiccup.

if the other part of the installation went fine, you can open a command line (cmd.exe) as Adminstrator and cd to apache \bin folder. There type httpd -k install That should install the service.

Thanks for the suggestion. I too figured it out so. The service gets installed, but does not get started yet though. Any idea what might have happened?

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin>httpd.exe -k install -

Installing the Apache2 service
The Apache2 service is successfully installed.
Testing httpd.conf....
Errors reported here must be corrected before the service can be started.

Since the module is not found it might be that ServerRoot is not set to "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\"

Code:
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 67 of C:/Users/sa269817/httpd-win7.conf: Cannot
load C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/default/modules/
mod_actions.so into server: The specified module could not be found.

Makes me highly suspicious that the ServerRoot is listed as C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/default/ or the like (which would be incorrect) vs. C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/ (which would be correct, as mentioned already.)

I am relieved now that apache is finally working on my system. Thanks to everybody who have advised me to have this problem of mine get sorted out. I worked around the ServerRoot path in the conf file and it worked for me.
