 Posted: Sun 22 Nov '15 22:50 Post subject: Apache service there but not there? |
 |
|
Hey guys,
I'm trying to start the Apache service and I get this:
| Code: | | system cannot find the file specified. : AH00436: No installed service named "Apache2.4". |
But if i try to install it it says this:
| Code: | Installing the 'Apache2.4' service
(OS 1073)The specified service already exists. : AH00370: Failed to create the
'Apache2.4' service |
Any ideas how I can get it to work?
Thanks. |

| What you see about the Apache service with services.msc ? |

| I don't see it there, I don't see it in the registry either. |

Try to delete:
>sc delete "Apache2.4"
what happens when you do
>httpd.exe -k install
and
>httpd.exe -k uninstall |

| Sometimes a service is 'marked for deletion', which can only be solved with a reboot. It does not look this is the case here, but rebooting sometimes helps with stubborn services. |

I did and when I do
| Code: | | sc delete Apache2.4 |
I get the same I get when I do
"The service doesn't exist"
And when I do
It says "There is already a service called Apache2.4" |

Hmm. Really stubborn. Try naming the service:
httpd -n Apache24 -k install |

To find the correct name for the installed service dump all service info into a text file
| Code: |
sc query type= service state= all > allserviceslist.txt
|
or
| Code: |
sc query type= service state= all | findstr /R Apache

Maybe some left over processes?
taskkill /f /t /im httpd.exe
Windows will remove the service once the defined process is stopped. |
