I am trying to get Apache2 (v2.0.54) to run as a service on Windows 2000 as a specific user ("apacheuser", original name huh?), which only has rights to read and execute on Apache2 root directory, and full access to the logs directory.

When I start the service as local user (when I am logged in as admin) it works fine, but when I change the service to log on as "apacheuser" it doesn't start. There is a message in the Event Viewer that says "The Apache2 service terminated with service-specific error 1." and another message that says "The Apache service named reported the following error: Apache.exe: could not open document config file bin/conf/httpd.conf . "

This is from the standard Windows Installer install for version 2.0.54, I have no idea why it would look for the configuration file in "bin/conf/" instead of just "conf/" (and copying the conf directory into bin doesn't help at all, so I wonder if that is the real problem).

Doesn anyone have any idea what could be wrong? Is there some other information you'd need?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
