https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44476 Summary: Apache service fails to start due to missing dependency Product: Apache httpd-2 Version: 2.2.8 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows 2000 Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: Win32 MSI Installer AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Apache service fails to start. Corresponding entry in the application log: "The Apache service named reported the following error: >>> DocumentRoot must be a directory . " However, one is able to start the service manually after login into Windows, using the same httpd.conf The directive Apache is complaining about looks like this: DocumentRoot //Tiny/vboxsrv/www/htdocs/ or like that: DocumentRoot "//Tiny/vboxsrv/www/htdocs/" Windows, however, cannot resolve this URI for Apache before its Browser service has started. Therefore the Apache service depends on Browser service, really. And Apache's error message in the application log is misleading, to say the least. Workaround: On Windows use "regedt32" ("regedit" won't work!) and add "Browser" to the value "DependOnService" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Apache2.2\ -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
