I don't know much about running Apache on Windows, but there may be a 'Test 
Configuration' option.
If there is, what does it return?

Greetings folks!

The problem:

Having followed the instructions (to a tee hopefully) on 

http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Installing_Eprints_3_on_Windows

I can't view a front-end webpage for EPrints 3.0.  As per my epadmin setup on 
Windows XP, the page should be viewable at http://localhost, but alas, nothing. 

-- When asked during the configuration setup for the initial archive 
"myarchive" in the standard procedures, should I have imputed a 
different host name? In respect to this procedure, does anyone have a 
step-by-step explanation of what I am actually doing? I got a bit lost during 
the step because I wasn't sure what to enter.

But the real issue, I believe, is with Apache Server (v. 2.4.9 - so downloaded 
because 2.4.8 was racking up errors vis-à-vis the required PERL_mods).  The 
application runs correctly when its httpd.conf file is unedited.  However, the 
application ceases to function when I insert the following code at the bottom 
of httpd.conf:

PerlPassEnv PERL5LIB
Include C:/EPrints/EPrints/cfg/apache.conf

Specifically, the "Include C:/EPrints/EPrints/cfg/apache.conf" 
returns a syntax error whenever Apache attempts to start.  The path is correct, 
and my environment variables are set correctly.  I'm completely stumped here, 
and would welcome any help/suggestions/sympathy.

[As a side note, the "generate_apacheconf" command worked correctly, 
and all the requisite .conf files were generated.  Additionally, the code

LoadFile "C:/EPrints/Perl/bin/perl58.dll" 
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

gives httpd.conf no problems whatsoever.]  

Additionally, some of the installation guides say that MySQL should have the 
group and user set to eprints but I can't figure out how to do that. Does 
anyone have any pointers?

I apologize for this long, complicated and exhaustive post.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Cann
