If Apache starts from the commandline OK, and works, then
it must be something with ApacheMonitor. Does ApacheMonitor
work without mod_perl enabled? You might also check that
you have the proper permissions - for example, if things
are set up to start Apache as a service, you (as the user
you're logged in as) may not have permission to start
Apache. If you can, log in as the Administrator to see
if that works.

Yes - I checked that - without mod_perl enabled, with a vanilla Apache installation (and with weblogic module enabled), the apachemonitor starts and stops apache fine. With the mod_perl line: (LoadModule .....) in 
httpd.conf it errors out. If I remove the line it again works flawlessly. The thing is this breaks in both the apache versions I mentioned above...

I am the administrator on this Win XP machine.

Its not a big issue - since apache runs fine from the commandline, but it would have been great if I could manage from the monitor, else I need to keep cmd prompt window open just for this thing...
