I just installed Apache2 on Windows 98.
I start the server from the Windows start menu.
But I can't stop the server from a command prompt by typing:
apache -k shutdown

I get the following error:
[error] (720002)The system cannot find the file specified. : No installed service named "Apache2".

Also, the ApacheMonitor does not show whether my server is running and so I can't stop the server from there either.

What is the proper way to stop the server?
 
are you sure the installation is complete? I don't think the server go installed.
 
OK, I found posts describing this problem on other sites. The Win32 Apache2 server can only be shutdown using [Ctrl] + [C] under Windows 98.
