You probably need to start the service - the method to do this depends on what operating system apache is running on.

I think smah is right. If you are running Windows, you can run apache in a shell window or as a service. If you install it as a service it will start automatically at boot up. If apache's /bin directory is not in your path you will need to change to that directory. Type this on the command line:

Code: 
apache -k install

This will create a service with the default name, usually Apache or Apache2. If you want a different name you would use -n option. For example if you want to call it myserver, you would do the following:

Code: 
apache -k install -n myserver

From then on all you have to do to start it is type:

Code: 
apache -k start

In addition to "start" there is also "stop", "restart" and on some systems "graceful" which will restart without knocking everybody off line.

If you are running linux, the command is usually "apachectl start".

In the lower left corner of your desktop you'll see the Start button. Click on it the click on "All Programs". From there click Accessories and look for "Command Line". Click on that and a window will pop up. This is call the command shell or in the olden days, the dos prompt. This is where you will type the commands I listed in the previous post. If you plan to be using the command shell often, you may want to make a link on your desktop.

Sorry - but you said to tell you in detail. I wasn't trying to insult you, I was trying to help. You say you get "some error". Can you tell me what that error is? You do not have to quote it verbatim. I just need a rough idea of what is happening.

You cannot use the run box because you need to change to apache's /bin directory. For example type:

cd /Program Files/Apach2/bin

You would type the actual path to that directory. The reason the commands aren't recognized by your system is because it assumes it is in your path. To see what I mean, type "set" (without quotes)on the command line. Scan down the page until you come to the line that starts with "path = C:/Windows/System... " This line will list all the places (seperated by semicolon) your system will look for the executable you are trying to use. Another option is to type the path to the the command (executable). If you type the path, then you can use the run box.

Apache or "something else" is already running on port 80. If this is the same error you got the first time, then you need to remove or disable anything using that port. A couple examples of things that could be on that port are IIS or PWS. If you use a P2P program such as Kazaa change the port it uses to 8080. Port 80 is used for http traffic and is the default port for all web servers.
