Zorro,
Tried your solution but must be doing something wrong. Still get the Winnt
error message during load and the follow up No Apache 2 service found. How did
you get around this?
Tks.

Had the same problem. Apparently, the folder/file containing WinNT
services was removed in Vista, since it is a total rewrite and does not use NT
code. Have not heard of a solution to the problem. This may have to be
reported as a "bug" in the Apache load program.
Below I am giving solution to my own post, having finally figured it out
after several hours (days!):
The culprit in Vista is UAC (User Account Control). Microsoft went
overboard with its security obssession in providing the most secure
environment, which results in serious compatibility issues, compromising well
known and liked apps like Apache webserver and God knows what else!
Turn off UAC in Vista and reinstall Apache from Add/Remove programs (Select
Change and then Repair). Now Apache will be installed as a service. You will
still not be able to launch the Apache monitor. Remove the shortcut from Start
menu so you do not get that annoying error message everytime you boot up.
Let me now if you find out anything more. Tks.

Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache 2.2.4 and Vista
Hello Everyone,
I recently upgraded to Windows Vista from Win XP. Apache
server 2.2.4 with mod_jk/1.2.20 was working fine. Then after the upgrade, I
could not open the Apache monitor.
I uninstalled and reinstalled ver 2.2.4, and during installation, I get
the error msg: Cannot open WinNT services.
Really appreciate if anyone can help.
Sincerely,
Jimmy
