Apache Install
From the "bin" folder of your Apache install folder run the command:
apache -k install -n "MyServiceName" -f "c:\YourPathTo\httpd.conf"
If you skip -n "MyServiceName" it will default to Apache2.
If you skip -f "c:\YourPathTo\http.conf" it will default to "conf\httpd.conf", relative to were apache.exe (or httpd.exe) is located.
Test the service's configuration file:
apache -n "MyServiceName" -t
Test your new Apache server at:
http://127.0.0.1/index.html (you should see: "It works!").
Uninstall:
apache -k uninstall -n "MyServiceName"
You can run multiple installation of Apache on the same server using different service names.
