497715 2006-11-09 06:40:00 I have recently installed IE7 Beta 3 and worked fine, until one day, it couldn't load any web pages. I thought upgrading to RC1 would help, but it didn't. However, between the IE7 Beta 3 to RC1 migration period, IE6 was present and it worked fine, as well as Mozilla Firefox, which I am using. Why is this happening?

On another note, I was running Apache2.2 with PHP and MySQL as a service happily until I installed mod_perl, which made it unstartable as a service. By simply running httpd.exe it works, but with net start Apache2 it doesn't. The error message is as follows:


The Apache2 service is starting.
The Apache2 service could not be started.

A service specific error occurred: 1.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3547.

Running net helpmsg 3547 gives:


A service specific error occurred: ***.


EXPLANATION

A service-specific error occurred.

ACTION

Refer to the Help or documentation for that service to determine the problem.

Big help. How do I resolve this?

497716 2006-11-10 05:13:00 I wouldnt touch IE with a 10 meter stick. Cornot (10386)
497717 2006-11-10 05:14:00 Try the final version of IE7. See if it makes any diff. Speedy Gonzales (78)
497718 2006-11-10 07:17:00 OK, I'll do that. What about Apache2? tony_young480 (4942)
497719 2006-11-10 07:24:00 Dont know, never used Apache. Speedy Gonzales (78)
497720 2006-11-12 04:49:00 Internet Explorer still doesn't work... tony_young480 (4942)
497721 2006-11-12 06:07:00 I dont know why IE 6 is still there. It shouldnt be.

Have a look thru here (www.google.com ervice+could+not+be+started.+A+service+specific+er ror+occurred%3A+1&btnG=Search)

Uninstall IE 7 and see if Apache works. It maybe a bug or something in IE 7.

Or send an email to whoever makes Apache.

497722 2006-11-15 06:34:00 IE 6 is there when IE 7 is uninstalled. And the Apache thing happened after I installed mod_perl. tony_young480 (4942)
497723 2006-11-15 07:20:00 Something really weird happened: Internet Explorer fixed itself! Now I only have my Apache problem. tony_young480 (4942)
497724 2006-11-15 08:24:00 Putting different problems into separate threads (with suitable title) means you are more likely to get help from someone with experience on that issue. :)

However, for your apache error this Installing and configuring Apache on Windows XP (johnbokma.com) guide has some useful tips over that error at the bottom of the page:


Troubleshooting the Apache web server after changing configuration settings

If the Apache web server can't be started after a change to a configuration file, open a command prompt (you don't need Administrator rights), change the working directory to the Apache bin directory, and run apache.exe with the -t option:

cd "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin"
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin>apache -t
apache: could not open document config file C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache
2/conf/virtual-host.conf

In the above case I made (on purpose) a spelling mistake in the virtual-hosts.conf filename after the Include directive in httpd.conf.

Fix the problem reported, and run apache.exe again with the -t option. If the program reports that the syntax is ok:

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin>apache -t
Syntax OK

try to start the Apache service again using NET START APACHE2 or use the Apache service monitor (in both cases Administrator rights are required).
