Hello Matthew,
to stop Apache properly open another DOS console...
This is from the manual:
http://www.apache.org/docs/windows.html
-------------- snip ------------------------
Controlling Apache in a Console Window
You can tell a running Apache to stop by opening another console window and running:
apache -k shutdown
Note: This option is only available with Apache 1.3.3 and later.
--------------------- end quote -----------------
I do it in two batch files with shortcuts on the desktop.
Works like a charm, except that open dos window, but you get used to it.
