You said that you were double-clicking the httpd.exe That would make the current directory: C:\Program Fiels\Apache Software Foundation\Apache 2.2\bin
so apache would go looking for a conf subdirectory of \bin and not find it. You will have to contsruct a shortcut to launch httpd.exe with a working directory of: C:\Program Fiels\Apache Software Foundation\Apache 2.2 Alternatively, you can open a command prompt at that directory and start apache with the command: bin\httpd.exe You cannot do it with a simple double-click.

Again, for clarity, I will give the complete path on my machine to both the .exe and the .conf file: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin\httpd.exe C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf Is the "2.2" the problem? Because if I change "Apache2.2" to "apache", then when I double-click httpd.exe, the window opens and instantly closes, and I cannot use apache. Do I need to re-install? If so, what should I be sure of when I do? Thanks, Jonah ____________________________________________________________________________________ Cheap talk? Check out Yahoo!
