Re: modperl2 + apache2.2 unable to restart

["Octavian Rasnita" <suppressed>]

Hi,

I am also using modperl 2.03 with Apache 2.2 under Windows XP, and I have 
very often problems when trying to restart the web server.

I use the following command:

net stop apache2.2

It tries to stop and after a few tens of seconds it reports that the server 
cannot be stopped.
If I try to start the web server immediately after this, using
net start apache2.2
it complains that the server cannot start because the port is used.

If I use again the command
net stop apache2.2
it gives a strange error telling that this command is not available for the 
specified service, or something like that.

But I have discovered that the OS keeps trying to stop the service, and 
after some more time it stoppes the web server, and I can start it again 
fine.

Maybe my experience helps.

Octavian
