(why vista? = long, somewhat painful, story) cygcheck version 1.90.4.1 System Checker for Cygwin Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status apache2 2.2.6-1 OK cygrunsrv 1.34-1 OK cygwin 1.5.25-14 OK Everything is working well since a recent Cygwin update but now I'd like to bring up the Apache web server. Previously under Cygwin on XP I had done this and found that I needed to: 1. cygserver-config 2. start cygserver windows service 3. export CYGWIN=server 4. apachectl2 -k start Under Vista I find that I'm having trouble with the whole cygserver thing. In order to run cygserver-config I need to 'Run As Administrator' and to start the cygserver service I need to 'Run As Administrator' but then when I start apache2 it can't see the running cygserver. If I skip/ignore the whole cygserver thing then apache2 won't start with 'bad system call' message. This is a bit of a mess. Does anyone know if there is a way to get apache2 running under Cygwin on Vista? I only want to run it for some light development work and only need it running while I'm actively developing. No unattended service operation or anything like that. Thanks!
