The envvars file seems to contain garbage only. I wonder if this is the reason why apache refuses to start. I guess it should define some environment variables.

i.e. it is a normal file; I cannot explain the message of above where it was displayed as directory.

Please excuse the report from above; one simply needs to run apache2 in the bin dircetory.

Normally, httpd is started from a script. If not set in your master environment, a minimal script for starting Apache would be something like:

x:
cd \apache2
set beginlibpath=x:\apache2\bin;x:\apache2\modules;
bin\httpd.exe -d .

Apache will look in the conf directory relative to what is specified on the command line (which is the reason for the "." on the above line).

I thought that a basic startup script was included in the package, but it's been some time since I actually looked (I wouldn't normally overwrite my own startup script, anyway, so during an upgrade, I just copy over what's necessary).
