Command Prompt you can install,
control and uninstall it with the same commands as the Windows
NT/2000 version.
There are, however, significant differences that you should
note:
Apache will attempt to start and if successful it will run
in the background. If you run the command
Apache -n "service name" -k start
via a shortcut on your desktop, for example, then if the
service starts successfully a console window will flash up but
immediately disappears. If Apache detects any errors on startup
such as a incorrect entries in the httpd.conf file, then the
console window will remain visible. This may display an error
message which will be useful in tracking down the cause of the
problem, and you should also review the error.log file in the
Apache logs directory.
Windows 95/98 does not support NET START or NET STOP
commands so you must use Apache's Service Control options at a
command prompt. You may wish to set up a shortcut for each of
these commands so that you can just choose it from the start
menu or desktop to perform the required action.
Apache and Windows 95/98 offer no support for running the
Apache service as a specific user with network privileges. In
fact, Windows 95/98 offers no security on the local machine,
either. This is the simple reason that the Apache Software
Foundation never endorses the use of Windows 95/98 as a public
httpd server. These facilities exist only to assist the user in
developing web content and learning the Apache server, and
perhaps as a intranet server on a secured, private network.
