Given the numerous complaints on Simple Axis Server not working, I got a fresh machine (never touched by Axis C++) and installed Axis C++ from scratch and documented the process of how to get it running.
PFA the document The operating system on the machine was Windows 2003 server.

However, as you have mentioned, you seem to have this on the PATH. I tried running simple axis server without Xerces dll on my PATH and I get the same error as you get. When I put this back, things work OK. Additionally do you have W:\SimpleAxisServer\Axis\conf\server.wsdd file as specified by axiscpp.conf in the correct location? If this is missing, you tend to get a similar error but the error will also say that it cannot locate the server.wsdd file. To verify that the settings are correct, before running simple axis server on a new shell, try echo %AXISCPP_DEPLOY% to and %PATH% to make sure that the settings include what is required by Axis C++.

I opened a command prompt in W:\SimpleAxisServer and ran the command "SimpleAxisServer 80". No joy. I retried it with port 8080.

1. Download binaries Axis C++ binary from http://www.apache.org/dist/ws/axis-c/axis-c-win32-current-bin.zip Xerces binary from http://archive.apache.org/dist/xml/xerces-c/Xerces-C_2_2_0/xerces-c2_2_0-win32.zip 2. Extract downloads Extract axis-c-win32-current-bin.zip to D:\axis-c-1-5-win32 Extract xerces-c2_2_0-win32.zip to D:\xerces-c2_2_0-win32 3. Copy Xerces lib to Axis C++ extract folder copy D:\xerces-c2_2_0-win32\bin\xerces-c_2_2_0.dll D:\axis-c-1-5-win32\bin 4. Set Environment variables Open a command shell and run: set AXISCPP_DEPLOY=D:\axis-c-1-5-win32 set PATH=%PATH%;%AXISCPP_DEPLOY%\bin 5. Set up the configuration On the same shell used in step 4 run: cd %AXISCPP_DEPLOY% Now you should be on D:\axis-c-1-5-win32 Copy the conf file: copy deploy\axiscpp.conf_win axiscpp.conf Edit the conf file to have the following content LogPath:D:\axis-c-1-5-win32\bin\AxisLog.txt WSDDFilePath:D:\axis-c-1-5-win32\samples\server.wsdd XMLParser:D:\axis-c-1-5-win32\bin\AxisXMLParserXerces.dll Transport_http:D:\axis-c-1-5-win32\bin\HTTPTransport.dll Channel_HTTP:D:\axis-c-1-5-win32\bin\HTTPChannel.dll NOTE: Please do not set Channel_HTTP_SSL in axiscpp.conf Now setup the server.wsdd file copy samples\server.wsdd.win32 samples\server.wsdd Edit server.wsdd file to match your settings (In this case replace all C:\obj\samples with D:\axis-c-1-5-win32\deploy\webservices) 6. Run SimpleAxisServer On the same command shell used in steps 4 and 5 bin\simpleaxisserver 9090 7. Run clients Open a new command shell Set environment variables: set AXISCPP_DEPLOY=D:\axis-c-1-5-win32 set PATH=%PATH%;%AXISCPP_DEPLOY%\bin cd to %AXISCPP_DEPLOY% And run the sample bin\base http://localhost:9090/axis/base
