uninstalling apache 2.4


Destramic

Recommended Posts

hey guys i'm using command prompt to execute the following:

httpd.exe -k uninstall 

but it comes back with

 

 

(OS 5)Access is denied.  : AH00373: Failed to open the 'Apache2.4' service

 

i've even removed maria-db as i thought that may have been the problem...no uninstall in c:\apache24 directories  also no sign of apache in my add/remove programs listings.

 

does anyone please have any idea on how i can uninstall apache please?

 

thank you

Make sure you are running that command as Administrator (Right click cmd.exe run as Administrator). Note it only removes the Apache service. If you gave the Apache service a different name on install then you need to specify the service name with the -n flag

httpd.exe -n "Apache Service Name" -k uninstall

Otherwise to remove Apache you can safely delete the Apache install folder (provided Apache is not running)
