Then, checked the StartUp folder for each user, nothing. Finally, took a look at the Services section in Admin Tools, and saw this entry: Services : Apache/1.3.28 (Win32) PHP/4.3.3 I did have Apache installed on this host at one point, but removed it a while ago, so am pretty sure this is a left-over from eZ which wasn't properly uninstalled. Since the whole thing is now gone, I don't know of a way to remove this part. BTW, since I had Sambar running on TCP80 and MySQL running on its standard TCP3306, I'd be curious to know how Apache can bind to TCP80 to run eZ. I didn't know two programs could bind to the save port :-) HTH JD.
James Packham	Monday 24 November 2003 4:27:27 am I didn't think you could either. Usually if I was two webservers on one machine I bind them to different ports (80 and 8080 usually). You could try that? You probably already know this, but you need to edit httpd.conf. As for uninstalling eZ from Windows properly, as a Linux user I wouldn't know. Regards, James

Hi,

Just took a quick look at eZ 3.2.3 by using the all-in-one file below:

I took a a look at the Run section in the relevant sections in the Registry (current user, All Users, etc.), but found nothing. Then, checked the StartUp folder for each user, nothing. Finally, took a look at the Services section in Admin Tools, and saw this entry:

I did have Apache installed on this host at one point, but removed it a while ago, so am pretty sure this is a left-over from eZ which wasn't properly uninstalled. Since the whole thing is now gone, I don't know of a way to remove this part.

Well, Sambar is definitely running on TCP80 before I install eZ, and MySQL is also running on its standard TCP3306.. and still, eZ manages to launch Apache and a second occurence of MySQL on the same host. It's some kind of magic, magic, magic :-)

I got a reply by e-mail which invoves uninstalling the Apache NT service manually:

1. Open a DOS box
2. net stop apache
3. Cd to ezpublish\apache
4. Uninstall Apache: apache -u

Haven't given it a try again, as I'm reading more about eZ :-) Since they're mentioning knowledge of XMLRPC/SOAP in the Jobs section, I wonder whether a dedicated app is available to finally add contents to a web site without bothering with HTML in a textarea...
