As a quick simple sanity check try typing the command in a bash prompt and see what happens. Make sure that starts ok.

Otherwise it can say that the service has not started when it is running. > When I try to start it > cygrunsrv -S cygapache > > I get the following error > > cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error > 1062: > The service has not been started. > > Nothing is written to /var/log/cygaapche.log or to > /usr/local/apache2/log/error_log > Check the windows event viewer for more logs.
