I am probably one of the few who hasn't disabled UAC, because I do believe
that it has some effect with respect to security.
But I am getting annoyed that it is making me jump hoops to start the
Apache httpd server (runs as service on my machine).
Apache installs a "start" shortcut and a "Apache monitor," from which the
service can be started, stopped and restarted.
=====
1. When the Windows starts/powers-up/boots, the Apache service is supposed
to start. It does not.
2. Attempting manual start from the "monitor" program does not start the
service.
3. Attempting start from the 'start' shortcut continually forces me to see
the Allow/Cancel
I need to also state that I moved most of the files, particularly its
intialization file, httpd.conf, out of their installation tree under C:
\Program Files because it was impossible to edit the config file under
that tree. They were removed to c:\User\[name]\AppData\Roaming\Apache,
which I created myself.
As to item 1, the start of service at bootup, I checked Computer
Management->System Tools->Event Viewer->Windows Logs->Application, and
under Apache Service the following error report is given:
The Apache service named reported the following error:characters: Invalid config file path
"C:/Users/john/AppData/Roaming/Apache/httpd.conf"
Note that I changed a parameter in the httpd.exe shortcut so that it would
try to find its config file, and I used the convention of forward-slashing
instead of back-slashing in the path name, because I was seeing this error
as well:
The Apache service named reported the following error:characters: Invalid config file path
"C:\\Users\\john\\AppData\\Roaming\\Apache\\httpd.conf"
The question is: How do I get Apache service to start silently at bootup
and change the shortcuts and monitor program so they don't UAC me
constantly?
