'path'?  Hm, that's a new one to me.  But OK.  I don't track the
changes in setup.exe religiously.

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?



>Oh and i misspelled , of course it was not apache.exe  but  httpd.exe    ;-)


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.
