Re: Trailing commandline arguments not allowed.
Well all I know is I have had to put in a completely new Cygwin. After that Apache is working again. Needless to say I will not try running again as a service until I can find a foolproof way of installing it. One that works and allows Apache to keep working. Thanks Ivan.

Re: Trailing commandline arguments not allowed.
$cygrunsrv -R httpd cygrunsrv: Error removing a service: OpenService: Win32 error 1060: The specified service does not exist as an installed service Removing the service is not the issue. I have done that. What I would like to do is remove everything and anything that has anything to do with Apache in Cygwin. Can this be done? Actually I think we can just forget this Ivan. I have wasted Cygwin's ability to use and start the Apache server. I don't feel like fighting with it anymore. The directions all they resulted in was a perfectly fine running Apache server turning into wasted space in the Cygwin folder. Now I just want all of it out. -- George Hester __ "Igor Pechtchanski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Sun, 21 Mar 2004, George Hester wrote: > > > Crap it is broke for good.

Re: Trailing commandline arguments not allowed.
George, Use a little judgement. For example, I run httpd as "nobody" (a new user I created for just that purpose). I also used the "-t manual" cygrunsrv parameter, which means I have to start httpd manually (which suits me fine). You can use "-t auto" instead if you want the service to be started at boot (when, in fact, something like "cygrunsrv -S" does happen). The reason you need "cygrunsrv -S" in the instructions is that simply adding the service, even with "-t auto", won't start it in the current session. As for your apache not working, see if there are any messages in /var/log/httpd.log, /var/log/apache/error_log, and the Windows Event log. It's likely either a permissions problem, or a problem with httpd.conf syntax. As a datapoint, try removing the service and starting httpd from the command line with the exact same flags as cygrunsrv starts it with (i.e., "-F"). This will at least eliminate httpd.conf syntax (if the service starts correctly). For a more definite experiment, try running it from a system-owned shell.

Crap it is broke for good. Is there some way I can remove EVERYTHING that has ANYTHIKNG to do with Apache in Cygwin? The uninstall does NOT remove EVERYTHING.

Re: Trailing commandline arguments not allowed.
Yes I do. So I followed the directions. It said "you must run httpd as root initially." To do this make a change so that I have, " User Guest." Of course no one in their right mind enables the Guest account but I went ahead and left my Guest account alone (the directions did not say to enable that account) and made the entry directed. Then the directions say, "To install and start the HTTP daemon as Windows service use this command: $ cygrunsrv -I httpd -d "CYGWIN httpd (apache)" -p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe -a "-F" $ cygrunsrv -S httpd " So I went ahead and did that. The Service is now in my Services applet set to start automatically at boot. This looks alittle suspicious to me since the $cygrunsrv -S httpd will NOT occur at boot but hey I'm just following the directions. I rebooted and the Apache server was not working. I had to fire up Cygwin off my desktop into the bash shell and $/usr/sbin/apachectl start to get the server running. Again this is not the normal way of a service at boot. It doesn't work. Any other suggestions to get the Apache server to start as a service in the normal way?

Re: Trailing commandline arguments not allowed.
George, I'm sure you have a /usr/share/doc/Cygwin directory on your system. Look for the file named apache-1.3.29-1.README in that directory. Judging by your reply, you looked in /usr/share/doc, not in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin. Igor On Sun, 21 Mar 2004, George Hester wrote: > I don't have a folder by that name.

I don't have a folder by that name. I have folder called apache-1.3.29-eapib and that's it. The puny Readme in that said nothing about running Apache as a service. Thanks anyway.

Re: Trailing commandline arguments not allowed.
George, Please (re)read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/apache-1.3.29-1.README, which is the official documentation for apache on Cygwin. Any other occurrences of "Cygwin" in the Apache documentation should be considered incidental, and are subsumed by that README. Igor On Sun, 21 Mar 2004, George Hester wrote: > Hi Igor.

Re: Trailing commandline arguments not allowed.
Hi Igor. Crap I messed up in my last post. Please do not read it. It will only upset you. I got the service to exist in the Services applet with: $cygrunsrv -I Apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe -t auto but it does not behave as a normal service. A normal service set to auto will start with no user intervention at boot. But that is not the case here. I still have to fire up Cygwin into the bash shell from the desktop. And since I have to do that I see no real benefit in running the above Apache as a service. Should I start Cygwin as a Service also?

According to the documentation of starting the Apache web server as a service in cygwin the generic formula is: $ cygrunsrv -I service_name-p /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd.exe [-a arguments] \ [-e VAR=VALUE] [-t auto|manual] [-u user] [-w passwd] So I did this in the bash shell: $cygrunsrv -I Apache 1.3-p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe -t auto Same thing with: $cygrunsrv -I Apache 1.3-p /usr/sbin/httpd.exe-t auto The result was the error I posted in the subject.
