#4 Not loading properly as NT 4 Service
I downloaded the foxserv complete package verion 1.0.
During the install process to my d: drive I told it to
install as an NT service. When it finally installed I
was presented with nothing more than a dos box saying
apache was running. Thinking I hadn't checked
the "install as service" box I uninstalled and re-
installed on c: drive, this time making sure I check
marked the relevant box and got the same result. This
time I used the shortcut called "install apache as
service" however this gave me a dos box telling
me "apache isn't installed as a service!" which I
already knew since this is what I was trying to do. So
I used the command line options to install it as a
service myself. (Why did you make those install/remove
apache as a service shortcuts with the wrong
paramters? Hasn't anyone noticed this??) Now finally
apache starts up as a service but apparently loads
twice (there's two instances on the task
manager's "processes" list). I don't think this is
right and despite my 256 MB of RAM I'd like to free as
much as possible to improve performance. I'm running
NT 4.0 with SP 6 and no other web servers. There is
only one instance of the apache service listed in the
control panel's services applet. I actually tried the
vanilla apache package (which has been removed) from
apache.org and it installed properly (Foxserv sounded
good since it has mySQL and PHP already setup). Any
other information needed?

k...first you should try the install to its default
directories on your C drive. When you do this install you
should checkbox the apache as service box.
installing to another drive like d or e or whatever will
cause problems because the scripts that run the whole setup
are based around serving up from your local c drive...NOT a
D or E drive.
if you have the skill to go into the scripts and rewrite
them reflecting paths to your e drive then go for it.
