Anyway I thought I would try Apache in Cygwin.  After the installation I wasn't sure what to do next other then search the Web on "Cygwin Apache."  Which is what I did and found this:

So I just started Cygwin in the bash shell (the default way Cygwin is installed) and typed "httpd" w/o the quotes.  The result was that the command httpd was unrecognized.  So I went to the directory structure of Cygwin and found that httpd.exe is NOT in C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin but in C:\cygwin\usr\sbin.

You didn't type /usr/sbin/httpd! :-)

But seriously, after you get to that point and have configured your web 
server to run you probably want it to run all the time, even when you 
are not logged in. Then you need to add Apache as a service:

$ cygrunsrv -I apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd -d "Apache for Cygwin" -f 
"Apache Web Server running under Cygwin" -a -F

The -a -F part tells Apache to do the right thing WRT running as a 
service. Then start it with

$ net start apache

Oh and you probably should first add C:\Cygwin\Bin to your Windows 
system environment variable PATH (I stick it in the front) and reboot 
your system before doing the net start.
