cygwin: I have a fresh install of Cygwin on Windows XP Professional SP3, including Apache.
I have created a Windows account "www" and updated /etc/passwd:
$ mkpasswd -l | grep www >> /etc/passwd
I have edited /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
$ cvs diff -r 1.1 httpd.conf
Index: httpd.conf

I can successfully start Apache via apachectl:
$ apachectl start
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd started
"apachectl status" does not work, even if I attempt to enable it in
httpd.conf:
$ apachectl status
Not Found
The requested URL /server-status was not found on this server.

Apache/1.3.33 Server at a64x23800p.holgerdanske.com Port 80
"apachectl stop" does not stop Apache, and displays a mangled error
message:
$ apachectl stop
?) not runninghectl stop: httpd (pid 2628
I can kill Apache if I choose the right PID:
$ ps -a | grep httpd
2628 1 2628 2628 0 500 21:21:48 /usr/sbin/httpd
1984 2628 2628 1984 0 500 21:35:40 /usr/sbin/httpd
3956 0 0 3956 0 500 Dec 31 /usr/sbin/httpd
$ kill 2628
I would like to have Apache automatically start at system boot and stop
and system shutdown, and have attempted to follow the instructions given
in:
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/apache-1.3.33.README
I installed Apache as follows:
$ cygrunsrv.exe -I httpd -d "CYGWIN httpd" -p /usr/sbin/httpd -a -F
"Services" shows:
Name: CYGWIN httpd
Description: <blank>
Status: <blank>
Startup Type: automatic
Log on as: Local System
Attempting to start the service:
$ net start httpd
The CYGWIN httpd service is starting.
The CYGWIN httpd service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.
Looking at /var/log/apache/error_log reveals no clues.
Event Viewer shows:
Information -- The CYGWIN httpd service was successfully sent a start
control.
Information -- The CYGWIN httpd service entered the stopped state.
When I attempt to start CGYWIN httpd via Services, I get a dialog:
Services
The CYGWIN httpd service on Local Computer started and then stopped.
Some services may stop automatically if they have no work to do, for
example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service.
I have tried to RFTM and STFW, including the Cygwin mailing list
archives, but haven't found a solution.
$ man httpd
$ cygrunsrv --help 2>&1 | less
cygcheck.out is attached.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
David
