First off, David Habermann, you really should respond to the list 
instead of emailing me directly so that others can benefit. Dave wrote:

Although not a popular opinion, I agree with you.  Cygwin based Apache works
and has a number of desirable properties.

I just went through the configs and it (httpd2-config) asked if I wanted to=
  create a service,
I said yes and was all set.=20=20
/bin/cygserver-config (cygserver is apparently required)
/usr/sbin/httpd2-config

Hope this helped.

Yes it did! It's been a long time and in the meantime somebody made 
/usr/sbin/httpd2-config which sets up the service nicely.

Let me restate. The problem is there are too many log files! There's 
/var/log/apache2/[error|access]_log (which shows nothing) and 
/var/log/apache2.log (which also shows nothing) but then there's 
/var/log/httpd2.log which shows:

Syntax error on line 172 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
DocumentRoot must be a directory

My DocumentRoot was "/cygdrive/a/web" because I mound my home directory 
from a NetApp (I believe) to my (unused) A drive. I assure you that 
"web" is a directory in my home directory. I've also tried the following 
but all failed:

DocumentRoot "a:/web"
DocumentRoot "//<server>/<share>/adefaria/web"
DocumentRoot "/home/adefaria/web" # where /home/adefaria is a symlink A:

Then I created a local /web directory and moved stuff there and 
restarted. Now in the error_log I see:

[Wed May 07 12:49:48 2014] [error] (28)No space left on device: Cannot 
create SSLMutex Configuration Failed

My disks are not full. The only reference I see to this is 
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-01/msg01017.html which doesn't 
point to an eventual answer. Other googling talks only about Linux 
systems and how to remove semaphores but none of the semaphores are 
owned by the Apache user. Used ipcrm -s <semid> to remove all of them. 
Now Apache starts!
