Apache Still Not working

I have been trying to install Apache, PHP and MySQL on my XP machine.

At first I had Apache and PHP working but kept having MySQL problems.

I went to a bunch of other boards, posted, followed the feedback and really got screwed up where nothing worked. Finally out of desperation, I remove all the programs, and started re-installing.

Now after I install Apache I always get this error:
Quote:
[error] (OS 2)The system cannot find the file specified. : No installed service named "Apache2".


This acts like a Windows registry problem, but when I open the registry in REGEDIT, I can see the entries for Apache there. I even went so far, on the last install, to clean out all Apache entries in the registry.

I am install 2.0.55 with the MSI file and I think there is something missing in that install library set, causing this error, but not sure.

Too green on Apache to know.

Can I get some help, I'm loosing my mind on this!

I ran into this same problem myself.

The best solution I found was to install WAMP Server.

It can be found at

Installs apache, php 5 and mysql all for you.

Works great
