Hallo Christoffer,

A "ps -aW" should show apache running nevertheless.

Ahh - I can help here.

In the documentation for cygrunsrv (/usr/doc/Cygwin/cygrunsrv.README)
under General Notes you'll see that the daemon has to be started
without forking a child and then exiting - what usualy daemons do.

Run "/usr/sbin/httpd -h" for help on httpd.
There you'll see the switch for starting apache without forking into
background is "-k"

Use: "/bin/cygrunsrv -I apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd -a '-k' " instead.

Ciao
Uwe                            mailto:merkosh AT planet-interkom DOT de
