Hi all,
I have installed the windows binaries of apache 2.2.3 from apachelounge and hit this problem... The server runs well, without any problems if started from a windows command window, however it crashes if started as a service.
This is... if after installing the service it is started as "net start apache2"
The error is:

1 - Windws pops up an error window with the following:
Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and
needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

2 - The windows command prompt displays:
The Apache2 service is starting......................................
The Apache2 service could not be started.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3523.

3 - Unfortunatley net helpmsg 3523 does not provide any help at all. Just tells me what I already know "The *** service could not be started." - Very helpfull indeed Mr. Green

Can anyone shed some Idea as why this is happening?

BTW - Running apache 2.2.3 in win XP pro, SPack 2 and PHP 5.

Thanks and regards

in the commandline browse to the apache\bin folder

httpd -k start should start the if not
try httpd -t -e debug that should output all loaded modules and show any syntax errors in httpd.conf
