That is probably because you tried to start it from apachectl previously. You shouldn't do that. Normally what happens is you try to start Apache from your regular user account, which creates log files under your account and permissions. Then if you try to run it later as a service, the SYSTEM account doesn't have the proper rights. You should try something along the following lines whenever trying to start Apache as a service after previously starting it as a regular user: for F in /var/log/apache.log /var/log/apache/{error,access}_log; do chown SYSTEM:root $F chmod 644 $F done You should also delete /var/run/apache.pid before starting the service if it exists and has improper permissions, otherwise cygrunsrv can't replace it. You also have to make sure that all the necessary directories can be read by SYSTEM. This includes /var/www, /etc/apache/*, and so on. Traverse checking can be an issue here (but it's a nonissue for 1.5.15 and later.) Finally, you should make sure that User is set to Guest (or whatever unprivileged account you desire) and Group is commented out in httpd.conf. > Sie erhalten weitere Hilfe, wenn Sie NET HELPMSG 3523 eingeben. If none of the above did the trick, you are going to have to provide more information. All that says is that the service couldn't be started. You need to check for messages in the log files and in the windows event log.
