Thank you Andew.  I can't run it as service yet for IIS has control of port 80 at the moment.  But when I'm ready to have it (Apache) listening on a different port then I'll be ready thanks to your directions.

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.
