Apache2 under Cygwin on Vista
In June of last year, there was a brief thread with the above subject. I found it in the archive at: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2008-06/msg00459.html I am having similar problems getting apache to run on a new laptop that comes with vista. The only difference is that I am running the 64 bit Home premium version of Vista, not the 32 bit Business version. Like the above writer, I too have had cygwin apache running on XP. There are two problems in Vista: the first is getting cygserver to run as a service; the second is to get the apache server to run using apachectl2. With a great deal of mucking about,I managed to get cygserver to run as a service. That is, it appears in the services panel and can be started (but not stopped) from the services panel. But when I try to start apache, I get this message: 3380 Bad system call $HTTPD -k $ARGV So, I assume, cygserver is not working or not working properly. I do have the CYGWIN environment variable set to server: $ set | grep server CYGWIN=server I got cygserver to run as a service by turning off the User Account Controls, and then changing the permissions of both cygrunsrv and cygserver to admin, using the compatibility tabs of their properties panels. Any help would be appreciated.

Apache2 under Cygwin on Vista
I'm running Cygwin on Vista (32-bit Business) with reasonably good success. (why vista? = long, somewhat painful, story) cygcheck version 1.90.4.1 System Checker for Cygwin Cygwin Package Information Package VersionStatus apache2 2.2.6-1OK cygrunsrv1.34-1 OK cygwin 1.5.25-14 OK Everything is working well since a recent Cygwin update but now I'd like to bring up the Apache web server. Previously under Cygwin on XP I had done this and found that I needed to: 1. cygserver-config 2. start cygserver windows service 3. export CYGWIN=server 4. apachectl2 -k start Under Vista I find that I'm having trouble with the whole cygserver thing. In order to run cygserver-config I need to 'Run As Administrator' and to start the cygserver service I need to 'Run As Administrator' but then when I start apache2 it can't see the running cygserver. If I skip/ignore the whole cygserver thing then apache2 won't start with 'bad system call' message. This is a bit of a mess. Does anyone know if there is a way to get apache2 running under Cygwin on Vista? I only want to run it for some light development work and only need it running while I'm actively developing. No unattended service operation or anything like that. Thanks!

If I skip/ignore the whole cygserver thing then apache2 In Cygwin 1.5, you can see the processes of other users only when running as administrator, too. That's caused by a restriction in Windows introduced with Windows 2003. Cygwin 1.7 will solve this problem. won't start with 'bad system call' message. When running the application, it needs to have the CYGWIN environment variable set to server. See http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html and the file /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cygserver.README, chapter How to use the Cygserver services.
