I'm not sure what all I might be able to offer but I run Apache 1.3.20 on Win98 and had no problem installing as a sevice, running virtualhost, cgi script, etc. The only glitch has been an inability to prevent users from downloading files from the cgi-bin. I rarely resort to the docs until I have a particular problem but I presume you are speaking of "win_service.html". I've never dealt with cvs before but if I understand right your referring to the fact that when installed as a sevice it does so for all users and not just the current user. The docs deal with issues of user accounts for NT/2000 under the paragraph heading "User Account for Apache Service to Run As (NT/2000)". It would seem to be a simple matter to change this behavior manually by logging on as the user you want Apache running on, deleteing the service startup from "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\" and adding it to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\", at least on Win98. If this is what you are refering to I can test it and write an addendum for "win_service.html" detailing the proceedure for various winboxes. If my work is satisfactory I am willing to consider other projects along these lines. John
