Sorry, I don't have apache installed here but I think what you're seeing is a general "mismapping" between the parameters cygrunsrv takes and what's reported in the services applet. You'll see the same thing with sshd or any other service you install with cygrunsrv. It's nothing to worry about and not the source of your problems. You should review the information in the Apache readme for Cygwin and the Cygwin archives to help you track your problem further.

I read the Apache/Cygwin page, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/cygwin.html, to figure how to run apache as a service. I used this command line: cygrunsrv -I apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe The service is created just fine but then, under the apache service properties, the "Path to Executable" contains "C:\cygwin\bin\cygrunsrv.exe". So naturally, when I click "Start", Apache doesn't start and I get an error message saying that the apache service couldn't be started. What gives here? The Path to Executable should be /usr/sbin/httpd.exe, right?
