Apache :(

I'm not quite sure where to put this, so I'll do it in the General Software. Does anyone know why Apache has a mind of its own? It runs services fine, until I decide to do anything with them... Should I download the most recent Apache? Does anyone know of any bugs?

I'm specifically referring to UnrealIRCd. I'm trying to host the IRC server for the Null Programming network, but for some reason Apache gives me an error when I try to run it. I haven't changed anything at all, it's just decided not to run! Has anyone encountered this problem before?

I'm using Win XP Home, btw.

EDIT:
Let me clarify this a bit. I have Apache Server on my computer. Up until about 3 hours ago, all the services were running fine. Then I noticed an error in UnrealIRCd (which I'm running a service.) I restarted it, hoping to correct the error, and suddenly all the services stopped working. I'm at a complete loss as to what happened. Has anyone ever experienced something like this before with Apache?

 

UnReal and Apache don't integrate together. Each is a stand alone server.
What kind of error are you getting from Apache or is Unreal giving you the error?
Check your event viewer. When Apache errors it writes an event to Windows event log.
If UnReal is giving the error take a look in the directory where Unreal is installed. There will be an error log.
Post the errors you're getting.

 

Yeah, I know it was a rather confusing post. Apache is giving me error 1067, which is Cannot load component. This first happened with Unreal, but now all services are not running.

 

Along with that error you should get a path to a module that isn't loading. Once you fix that it will start.
Unreal has a bug in it that causes to happen what happened.

Bring up task manager and click on precesses tab. Look for wircd.exe and kill it. If you have services running kill it also. Then restart Unreal.

 

This happened to me while trying to get PHP to load as a module. It ended up I had some misconfiguration in the PHP.ini. Apache throws an error and dies when its modules cant load, which usually means that the module is faulty. I've never used Unreal, but thats my guess.

Have you changed anything drastic in Unreal? Fiddled with the config files any? That may be the source of problems.
