No installed service named Apache2

2006 Oct 2

If you came across to this error while installing apache2, well, heres the fix.

Goto your apache installation folder its usually at:

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin

Execute this command:

Apache.exe -k install -n "Apache2"

-k install -- tells apache to install an Apache service
-n "Apache2" -- sets its service name to be Apache2
-k start -- Start Apache server
-k restart -- Tells Apache to do a restart

You can then test your installation by typing in http://localhost/ to your browser address bar.
