apache 2 troubleshooting

if apache 2 doesn't work on your windows machine, check out these things:

- no other web server is running and listening on the same apache port
- is the service installed? go to the command prompt and :

C:\program files\apache group\apache\apache -k install

this will bring it up in the services console. [ control panel / administrative ... / services ]

- from then on, you can run the apache monitor to start the web server
