According to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/cygwin.html it should be as simple as: $ cygrunsrv -I Apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd (Note that page says $ cygrunsrv -I service_name-p /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd.exe [-a arguments] \ [-e VAR=VALUE] [-t auto|manual] [-u user] [-w passwd] However there is no /usr/local/apache/httpd but there is a /usr/sbin/httpd) When I install the service this way and attempt to start it via cygrunsrv -S Apache I get the following: cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. Yet there are httpd processes started. Additionally the Apache service in Windows Services applet does not show as Started thus cannot be stopped. Further a cygrunsrv -E Apache does not stop the httpd's but apachectl stop will stop them. Two cygrunsrv -S Apache will result in multiple httpd threads being started and an apachectl stop will only stop one of the threads. Starting the service the "Windows" way via the Services applet will yield: The Apache service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service. And, again, the service is not listed as started thus not stoppable via the Services applet. So what is the appropriate cygrunsrv command to install Apache for Cygwin as a Windows service? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
