i installed apache grand

im running xp2 with apache 2.4

for a while i wasnt able to get it running .. any time i hit http://localhost a page popped up saying IT WORKS!
i didnt get the other page u were supposed to get

After the installation i tryed to start the apache server via the service monitor but it only gave met the error "The Requested operation has failed!".
i googled it and i came here

but NOW for some reason any time i wanna open apache it just crashes
and im at a complete loss

Is that a question or a fact?

The server monitor works only if you installes apache das service.

The IT WORKS! page mean apache runs well.

Seem that the file you downloaded is corruped.
Uninstall apache and download from a different mirror and try again.
