apache not working =(

corporateboy

I installed apache from this website's tutorial http://internetmaster.com/installtutorial/config_apache.htm

but when I try and start it up, the dos window never goes away

in the error log appears the following

[Thu Jul 24 20:34:10 2003] [notice] Child 4012: Child process is running
[Thu Jul 24 20:34:10 2003] [notice] Child 4012: Acquired the start mutex.
[Thu Jul 24 20:34:10 2003] [notice] Child 4012: Starting 250 worker threads.

but it never seems to finish starting - under the apache monitor it lists no services as running - any ideas folks?

Install Apache2 from this tutorial

http://www.devside.net/web/server/win32

or download a package of Apache2, PHP, MySQL, Perl, SSL all setup from the main page.

As far as what you have listed, those are not errors. Something else is wrong.

thanks I'll give the prebuilt one a whirl

corporateboy

okay I have installed the brebuilt thing - and now I have a new problem - I got the success page and all then when I changed the documentRoot I get 403 forbidden errors!

any ideas?
