Hi, I have read that information most of them are relate to Apache with PHP. I have not install PHP because I have not successful with apache.

That information does not apply to our errors. Does anyone know what the problme is and how can I solve that please!

How did you install the service? Via commandline or with the msi setup?

uninstall the service and install it by hand with

httpd -k install -n Apache2

see

httpd -h for more help.

The Problem can caused that the install used a different name than Apache2. maybe Apache2.2 or something like that.

I have install by msi setup, I download the apache file called apache2.2.4 win32-86-no_ssi.

I have installed and uninstalled about five times and still come up with same errors.

Any idea!

Install it with msi but NOT as service! And then install the service from the commandline. Or did you do that?

No I have not done commandline until recently I have done your way by installed MSI as not service but I still got same message with errro icon "The Operation completed successfully".

So i assume that there are still errors out there, what do i need to do next in commanedline!

I have just sucessfully installed Apache and PHP on Windows XP.
It took me 5 days of pains taking searches and posts to finally succeed.
First I do not have Vista installed nor do I intend to for a while, but I would think that the networking managent is similar. Back to your question. Make sure you install the binary (msi) version. The wizard will prompt you to install Apache as a service. If you need additional help go to www.tutorialize.com. Type WAMP ( Windows Apache MySQL PHP)installation. It is quite possible that after installation your Apache will not fire up. To find out the status of apache right click My Computer then Manage. Click on services and see if Apache is listed. If if it is listed, see if it is set to automatic. Next monitor Apache. You should have a feather with a little green arrow in the taskbar area if Apache is running. A red dot inside the feather if it is not. I downloaded all my apache and PHP from tutorialize as I went through the tutorial. Again I am basing this on XP I hope you can fake your way through Vista to obtain similar results. Bear in mind I am just trying to give you clues to avoid the headache I had installing this stuff.
If Apache is listed in the services area, and the status is "STOPPED" then I would guess Windows is preventing Apache from firing up. This is the problem I had. If this is the case, look at my post (a few posts below yours) and view it. This is what I had to change in Windows to allow Apache to fire up ( post is titled solved apache server / windows xp or something like that).
I truly hope this helps. If not I tried. Good luck.

Hi, I have read the tutorial of Apache 2 + PHP.

I have Apache 2.0 installed with PHP4 and MySQL on a Windows 2003 Server (x64?) machine and would like to allow SSL.

I am unsure on the steps of installing SSL. I have downloaded httpd-2.2.4-win32-x86-ssl.zip from the download page but not sure whether installing the Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package is all I need before testing httpd-2.2.4-win32-x86-ssl.zip on its own to see if Apache at least runs (in parallel on a different port) with the one right now. If it does, I then intend to make this the active one as described here: http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=303

I intend to keep PHP4 and MySQL as they are because I am afraid I may break something down.

And also, what is the difference between http://hunter.campbus.com/ and this version of Apache with Open SSL?
