Good. So the path is set up properly for you in whatever environment you
tried to invoke 'sh'.
>But apache still doesn't work
Right. Because /usr/sbin isn't in your path. There's really no reason to
add it but if you *really* want to be able to type just httpd.exe, then add
/usr/sbin to the path set in 'path' above. That should do it if httpd.exe
is run from bash anyway.

Don't know. I didn't install it. Perhaps someone else can help you out
here. Stipe?

OK, good.

Change the path as I mentioned above or just type the full path. Did you
read any of the docs I suggested? They should be some help.

Yes, it's the same problem. Both of these reside in the same directory.
