Synopsis: Apache won't start -- Win98 install appears incomplete -- dirs conf 
modules and cgi-bin are empty

State-Changed-Why:
While I am not directly aware of anyone confirming Apache
installs on Win98, you should not get this problem. I
suspect if this was common more people would have reported
it.

The installer certainly works on a fresh system, and
includes content for the "modules" and "conf" directory.
The later comes from a program run after installation, but
the former is installed by the installer itself, and
it would be very unusual for it not to be installed (unless
you unselect "Additional Modules" in the custom install).

Are you sure you were not out of disk space, or did
not have permission to write to the install directory?
What actually *is* in the installed directory tree?

Did the installer give any error messages? Did it get
to the end and offer to display the README file? Have
you tried removing the install directory and installing
Apache again?

Note you should not reboot after installing (or 
deinstalling) Apache. Nowhere in the install or
documentation does it tell you to reboot (I guess it
won't do any harm, but only stupid application software
should require an OS reboot so Apache doesn't).

To run Apache manually, you need to give it the full
pathname. For example, C:\Apache\apache -d C:\Apache.

To check the registry, look in 
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apache Group\Apache\1.3.4.
