apache-stop.bat not working

Postby aducom » 25. June 2019 20:39

I have the portables xampp installed. In my application I start and stop apache by spawning the process. Currently I moved from 32 to 64 bits and the application does not work.
I tried the bat files that in essense do the same, apache-start.bat to start the server, apache-stop to stop the server. Only apache-stop shows an error message that the process could not be found.
As it is using pv.exe to list the processes I noticed that when you use apache-start that the httpd process is NOT in the list, but the server does work.
Am I doing something wrong, is it expected behaviour in 64 bit or is it a bug?

Sorry, I'm using apache from the xampp package. I noticed that after apache-start can be found in the task manager under details, but under the user account, not system. Not sure if that has anything to do with the issue. pv.exe is not showing the httpd process.

In addition, starting and stopping mysql has the same issue. if you use mysql_start.bat then pv.exe will not find the process.

Ok, apparently the pv.exe does not show 64 bit processes. I think because there is no updated version of pv. I tested the issue on a different pc with same results.
I created an application of my own that does work, so I have fixed my issue. If there is need for sharing then let me know.

Not for me. I dont use Windows anymore since a couple of years and i am very (very!) happy with that decision. Linux is so much better than Windows, there are no words to explain it. Simply do it.

Ehhhh, to me an unexpected reaction within a Windows forum. Not very helpful to say the least.
