No installed service named "Apache2"

Server Config
1

I searched the forums and found no answer to this error message:

<OS2> The system cannot find the file specified: No installed service named “Apache2”

I googled this problem and a few suggestions were make sure the port Apache 2 is listening on is a different port such as 8080. It is on 8080, so that is not the problem. Use netsat -a to see if some other service is using the port. There is no other service using 8080.

The test configuration went ok, after I commented out the Add type problem. I am wondering if the issue has to do with previous versions of Apache (1.3) and PHP (EasyPHP) on my machine. I thought I checked the registry for all remnants of them and there aren’t any traces.

Any ideas?
I am using Windows XP he.

Thanks in advance.

I found that going in the DOS box doing the following fixed part of the problem:

c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin>Apache -k install
Apache -k start

fixed the "no installed service named “Apache2” "

However, because I still have a remnant somewhere in my system of a previous Apache 1.3 Easy PhP bundle, I went to control panel, administrative tools, and highlighted the Apache 1.3 Easy PHP service, went to properties and disabled it.

Now Apache 2, is up and running.

I hope this helps anyone who comes across the same situation in Windows XP home edition.
