Check that your /etc/passwd and /etc/group are up-to-date. Also, check both /var/log/httpd.log and the Windows Event Log. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/share/doc/Cygwin > $ /usr/sbin/httpd.exe -F Yes, this would cause the daemon to be tied to the opening shell. If you can't figure out why the service approach doesn't work for you, you might try "setsid /usr/sbin/httpd.exe -F".
