Hello, I think this doc isn't enough to succesfully install Apache as service for new users of cygwin as me :
Installing Apache as a new Service Use the following statement to install httpd.exe as a new service: $ cygrunsrv -I service_name-p /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd.exe [-a arguments] \ [-e VAR=VALUE] [-t auto|manual] [-u user] [-w passwd] Where -a is used to pass command line arguments (such as -DFOO defines) to httpd.exe, and -e is used to pass environment variables. If necessary you may use the -t options to set the autostart configuration for the service. If you want the new service to run under a different userid, you will have to supply the -u and -w options. When i start apache as this : /usr/sbin/httpd.exe apache is running ok but when i install it as service with : cygrunsrv -I apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe and i try to start the service with : $ cygrunsrv -S apache i get : cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: Le service n'a pas été démarré. I think there is other thing to do but what ?
