I got an Apache2 installation that went wrong due to an error on my side. I fixed the problems, but one thing remains, I want to add the apache.exe binary as a Windows XP service. I know there is some 'net ...' command for it, but I forgot what it was. I searched the net for the command, but I only could find 'sc create <appname> binPath=<binpath>', which doesn't work for some reason. Can anyone help me? I don't want to do another installation of Apache2, I just want to know what the command for adding services in XP is.
 
Why couldn't I find anything on the MS KB? Anyway, thanks for the tool, works like a charm. Too bad Apache still refuses to work, but that's another problem :)
 
Just found out I could have used path\to\apache\apache.exe -k install -n "Apache2" :doh: This way it autmagically installs the corrects paths etc to the service manager.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
