n1ll0 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 There seems to have been some problem during the installation of apache 2.2 http server. After I installed it I tried to start it up via that apache services monitor and it would not work. I got an error that said that "the requested operation has failed!" I looked in the error log and this is what was in it: Starting the Apache2.2 service The Apache2.2 service is running. rmine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.1.175 for ServerName [Tue Nov 18 14:50:40 2008] [notice] Apache/2.2.10 (Win32) configured -- resuming normal operations [Tue Nov 18 14:50:40 2008] [notice] Server built: Oct 10 2008 12:39:04 [Tue Nov 18 14:50:40 2008] [crit] (OS 5)Access is denied. : Parent: Failed to create the child process.

[Tue Nov 18 14:51:08 2008] [notice] Parent: Forcing termination of child process 36 it seems also that every time I try to start the server I get the same error message added to my log file: [Wed Nov 19 08:16:40 2008] [notice] Apache/2.2.10 (Win32) configured -- resuming normal operations [Wed Nov 19 08:16:40 2008] [notice] Server built: Oct 10 2008 12:39:04 [Wed Nov 19 08:16:40 2008] [crit] (OS 5)Access is denied. : Parent: Failed to create the child process.

[Wed Nov 19 08:16:40 2008] [notice] Parent: Forcing termination of child process 36 This is before any configuration changes have been made to httpd.conf. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the server but the same thing happens. Any ideas what could be causing my problem? thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133359-cannot-start-apache-the-requested-operation-has-failed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 What OS are you using? I assume you're using Windows Vista? If that is the case then try running Apache Services Monitor as an administrator instead (do this by going to where Apache is installed. Now open the bin/ folder and right click on ApacheMonitor.exe and select Run as Administrator).
