apache startup problem 1

[dropoutuser]

This is probably a newbie question but I need help. I am running apache2 triad on windows xp. I install it and everything runs fine then when I restart my machine apache won't start. I uninstall and reinstall and still it runs fine and then won't start when I reboot. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Although the software is installed, it still needs to be installed as a service. If apache's /bin directory is not in your path, change to that directory and issue this command:

apache -k install

This will install the service using the default name "Apache2". If you would like another name, use this command:

apache -k install -n coolname

If you need more help, check out the docs for windows installs here:
