The Apache server (httpd) can be started as a service on Windows NT/2000/XP using cygrunsrv. The package itself contains a httpd binary in /usr/sbin and can be started in either of the following ways Installing snd starting on NT $ cygrunsrv -I httpd -d "CYGWIN httpd" -p /usr/sbin/httpd -a '-k' and to start it $ cygrunsrv -S httpd Plain running on Win9x (due to lack of a Service Manager) $ apachectl start > I also couldn't find a man or info page and the stuff under /usr/docs > wasn't really helpful either. There is a manual page installed with the package (try `man 8 httpd') and if it doesn't work, ie. returns with "No manual entry for httpd" there's always `/usr/sbin/httpd -h' as well as the package README in /usr/doc/Cygwin. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
