The following page has been changed by SteveHay: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Platform/WindowsVista ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The taskbar icon applet ApacheMonitor, which displays a feather and the state of the installed apache services, is known not to run on Vista yet. + === known issue - Apache MSI doesn't create configuration files or install Apache Service === + + When User Account Control (UAC) is switched on (which it is by default), running the Apache + MSI throws up various errors about creating configuration files and then complains that it + can't install or start the Apache service. + + These issues seem to go away if UAC is turned off. Afterwards, UAC can even be turned back + on and the Apache service can still be stopped/started. + === known issue - Apache Service won't install === Running httpd.exe -k install doesn't install the service. - Work around is to run the command promt with administator privileges. + Work arounds are to run the command prompt with administator privileges, or use the runas + command to run that command line as an administrative user, or set the Run as administrator + flag on the Compatibility tab of the Properties of httpd.exe. +
