Topic: Apache2.2.4 installation error

[pips]

I've downloaded the 224 zip file from the Apache Lounge, unzipped the contents to d:\apache2 and edited the httpd.conf file and changed the default paths from c:\apache2 to d:\apache2. I've not added anything else to the conf file (yet), however, I cannot install the service.

At the command prompt I enter:-

httpd -k install

and get the following error message: The system cannot execute the specified program.

The entry from Event Viewer is:-

Event Type: Error
Event Source: SideBySide
Event Category: None
Event ID: 59

Description:

.

Anyone get any ideas?

Thanks, Phil.

Looks like you did not installed the new Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package.

I placed all over the place that it is build with Visual Studio® 2005 Service Pack 1, like in the readme and notice text files.

vcredist_x86.exe has been downloaded and installed, but still get the same error message

As stated in the readme, did you installed vcredist_x86-sp1.exe ?

Thanks Steffen - I had not read your instructions properly, and assumed it was the non sp1 version.

However, I have been looking for a download for the SP1 package, but cannot find one. Do you have a link for this download?

Thanks, Phil

The link for vcredist_x86-sp1.exe is in the readme.

Or do you mean the Service Pack 1 ? It is easy to find on the Visual Studio homepage at Microsoft under the downloads.
