validate all path names given. This means that each directory
which Apache evaluates, from the drive root up to the directory
leaf, must have read, list and traverse directory permissions.

<li><p>Apache for Windows contains the ability to load modules at
runtime, without recompiling the server. If Apache is compiled
normally, it will install a number of optional modules in the
- <code>\Apache2.5\modules</code> directory. To activate these or
+ <code>\Apache2.&httpd.minor;\modules</code> directory. To activate these or
other modules, the new <directive module="mod_so">LoadModule</directive>
directive must be used. For example, to activate the status
module, use the following (in addition to the status-activating

- <code>-k install</code>, the service will be called <code>Apache2.5</code>

and the configuration will be assumed to be <code>conf\httpd.conf</code>.

<p>Normal starting, restarting and shutting down of an Apache
service is usually done via the Apache Service Monitor, by using
- commands like <code>NET START Apache2.5</code> and <code>NET STOP

starting Apache as a service by any means, you should test the

Windows Control Panel, you may get the following message:</p>
<example>
- Could not start the Apache2.5 service on \\COMPUTER <br />

<p>You can also run Apache via the shortcut Start Apache in Console
placed to <code>Start Menu --> Programs --> Apache HTTP Server
- 2.5.xx --> Control Apache Server</code> during the installation.
+ 2.&httpd.minor;.xx --> Control Apache Server</code> during the installation.
This will open a console window and start Apache inside it. If you
don't have Apache installed as a service, the window will remain
visible until you stop Apache by pressing Control-C in the console
