Synopsis: Apache won't start -- Win98 install appears incomplete -- dirs conf modules and cgi-bin are empty State-Changed-From-To: open-feedback State-Changed-By: pcs State-Changed-When: Sat Jan 30 11:40:01 PST 1999 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.
