Problem running Apache Web Server on WIN2K

[Perra]

Hello!

I have a problem that is about running Apache Web Server on my computer.

I have Windows 2000 Pro with no Service Packs running on an Intel-machine.
I have the appropriate Apache programs installed:
Apache JServ 1.1.2
Apache Web Server 1.3

The Apache service can´t start. It only generates a DOS-console window and closes within a given time-limit.

I´ve tried writing the localhost-address (127.0.0.1) in the addressfield in Internet Explorer, but I don´t get the following message when you succeed in installing the service:

You have successfully installed Apache Web Server...etc


The error is (when attempting to start the service):

fopen: permission denied
Apache.exe: could not open document config file
c:\program\apache group\apache c:\program\apache jserv 1.1.2\conf\jserv.conf

All this worked fine earlier when I ran Windows 98...

Grateful for tips but rather solutions!!

/Perra

The first thing is that win2k pro is not designed for a webserver. When you try to install PWS the only message you get is something in the form like "If you want a webserver install win2k (advanced) server". So it is maybe better to install win2k server and use the build in webserver.
The other problem could that apache doesn't have the rights to read from the config file. Are you logged on as administrator or poweruser. And are the rights for the drive on which apache is installed ok. Because if you don't have the correct acces rights the program will hold.
