Problem running Apache Web Server on WIN2K

[Perra]

Hello!

I have a problem that is about running Apache Web Server on my computer.

I have Windows 2000 Pro with no Service Packs running on an Intel-machine.
I have the appropriate Apache programs installed:
Apache JServ 1.1.2
Apache Web Server 1.3

The Apache service can´t start. It only generates a DOS-console window and closes within a given time-limit.

I´ve tried writing the localhost-address (127.0.0.1) in the addressfield in Internet Explorer, but I don´t get the following message when you succeed in installing the service:

You have successfully installed Apache Web Server...etc


The error is (when attempting to start the service):

fopen: permission denied
Apache.exe: could not open document config file
c:\program\apache group\apache c:\program\apache jserv 1.1.2\conf\jserv.conf

All this worked fine earlier when I ran Windows 98...

Grateful for tips but rather solutions!!

Hi,
it seems that the prob. is not with ser. packs .
but with ur apache configuration.
reason: Apache could not find jserv.conf .

check the files tomcat.bat and server.xml .
save them and restart apache.

amk

I have a question regarding the general strategy in opening and closing a database through a transaction program. I have a VB program that is a listening server using winsock. It receives transactions through a listening port. Once it receive a transaction, it then updates a MS SQL database. I think if with every transaction I open and close the database there will be lot of overhead. Is it good practice to keep the database open all the time or is there a smarter strategy. Can any one please provide some suggestions. Thank you in advance.
