Apache2 under Cygwin on Vista

- Subject: Apache2 under Cygwin on Vista
I'm running Cygwin on Vista (32-bit Business) with reasonably good
success. (why vista? = long, somewhat painful, story)
cygcheck version 1.90.4.1
System Checker for Cygwin
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
apache2 2.2.6-1 OK
cygrunsrv 1.34-1 OK
cygwin 1.5.25-14 OK
Everything is working well since a recent Cygwin update but now I'd like
to bring up the Apache web server. Previously under Cygwin on XP I had
done this and found that I needed to:
1. cygserver-config
2. start cygserver windows service
3. export CYGWIN=server
4. apachectl2 -k start
Under Vista I find that I'm having trouble with the whole cygserver
thing. In order to run cygserver-config I need to 'Run As
Administrator' and to start the cygserver service I need to 'Run As
Administrator' but then when I start apache2 it can't see the running
cygserver. If I skip/ignore the whole cygserver thing then apache2
won't start with 'bad system call' message.
This is a bit of a mess. Does anyone know if there is a way to get
apache2 running under Cygwin on Vista? I only want to run it for some
light development work and only need it running while I'm actively
developing. No unattended service operation or anything like that.
Thanks!
Steve
