I installed apache 2.4.3 in windows server 2003. Since i did not get administrator rights in this machine i could not install as a service.
I runned as an application through the command line console and is working fine.
Is there any difference regarding performance when running as a service or as an application?
Is there any other benefit or drawback of running as a service or as an application? |

Windows Service
Pros:
Starts when the machine is booted up
Runs regardless of if anyone is logged in
Can be run as a specific user even when user is not logged in. This also enables "Jailing"
Cons:
Has full access to the system unless "Jailed"
Console
Pros:
Only has access to the system the user running it has
Cons:
Has to be started manually
The user must be logged in, once they log out Apache stops |
