I can't run it as service yet for IIS has control of port 80 at the moment. But when I'm ready to have it (Apache) listening on a different port then I'll be ready thanks to your directions.

All seemed to go fine there. I have used mostly IIS in Windows 2000 but lately started experimenting with Tomcat. Anyway I thought I would try Apache in Cygwin. After the installation I wasn't sure what to do next other then search the Web on "Cygwin Apache." Which is what I did and found this: > > > >http://www.phpfreaks.com/apache_manual/page/cygwin.html#inst > > > >Well I figured Cygwin would install Apache such that with little or no re-configuration on my part it would work. So I just started Cygwin in the bash shell (the default way Cygwin is installed) and typed "httpd" w/o the quotes. The result was that the command httpd was unrecognized. So I went to the directory structure of Cygwin and found that httpd.exe is NOT in C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin but in C:\cygwin\usr\sbin. > > > >What have I done wrong? > > > > > > > You didn't type /usr/sbin/httpd! :-) > > But seriously, after you get to that point and have configured your web > server to run you probably want it to run all the time, even when you > are not logged in.
