The only problem was that it's on a html page so I first found it after I already had installed apache under inetd. There's a small glitch in there. It uses the /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd path instead of /usr/sbin/httpd. I tried to start apache under cygrunsrv using the description but it forks as I expected, so cygrunsrv reports cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started. and I couldn't contact apache with a browser even if there was an instance of apache running. While there's not the option to start it correctly under cygrunsrv... do I have to give some other option? In my httpd.conf I changed ServerType inetd back to ServerType standalone and added User Guest Group Guests That apache process was running under SYSTEM account, though. Am I doing something wrong?
