Hello,
our apache server ran without problems, but after a windows update following issue arose:
If I try to run it as a service in the server Manager it gives me a Syntax error
Syntax error on line 56 of C:/Apache24/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:
56: DocumentRoot "//IVKPAPP002/tools_setup/software_share"
57: <Directory "//IVKPAPP002/tools_setup/software_share">
Now I already figured out, that it can't access this shared folder, which comes from other system, if I run it in the server manager or write "C:\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice in the console and gives the Syntax error above.
Yet, when I run the server through the console (the user is in all cases the same - me) via
C:\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe -d C:/Apache24 everything works fine and it starts so it sees the shared folder. I know it is also a microsoft issue, but maybe someone here knows the answer how I can make the runservice command to also see and access the shared folders. Thank you in advance and kind regards! |

Does
C:\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe -d C:/Apache24 -k runservice
work in the console? |

Shares are only available if the Apache service is running (log on as) as a user (say Apache in this case) and that user has permissions to access the share. I don't see you mention this. The reason you can run it fine from the command line is it's running under your user account.
And what is "runservices"?
-k start : tell Apache to start
-k restart : tell running Apache to do a graceful restart
-k stop|shutdown : tell running Apache to shutdown
-k install : install an Apache service
-k config : change startup Options of an Apache service
-k uninstall : uninstall an Apache service
No, for some reason Apache doesn't complain about -k options it doesn't understand.
I tried your command line and Apache just runs like it normally would from the command line and holds the the shell till you ctrl+c. It doesn't release it after startup like it should if it starts the service. |

Open 'services.msc', scroll to the Apache service, double click and look at the 'Path to executable'. You will see something like:
"D:\phpdev\apache24.x32\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice
Apache itself puts the '-k runservice' there if you do a '-k install'. |

Ahh, thanks. Never noticed that before though I do look to see the path to the executable there.
Edit: Thinking about it I have seen that, I just didn't put it together in my head. |
