Thanks.

I think we can just begin with -4. IIRC, it's not the first
package. Our subversions are just way smaller than in most Linux
distros :-)

Btw., I've found the description how to install apache as service
under cygrunsrv. The only problem was that it's on a html page
so I first found it after I already had installed apache under inetd.
There's a small glitch in there. It uses the /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
path instead of /usr/sbin/httpd.
I tried to start apache under cygrunsrv using the description but
it forks as I expected, so cygrunsrv reports
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.
and I couldn't contact apache with a browser even if there was an
instance of apache running. While there's not the option to
start it correctly under cygrunsrv... do I have to give some
other option? In my httpd.conf I changed
ServerType inetd
back to
ServerType standalone
and added
User Guest
Group Guests
That apache process was running under SYSTEM account, though. Am I
doing something wrong?
