Install an Apache Web Server on Windows as a Service for All Users

The Web Agent Configuration Wizard will not detect a valid Apache installation if the Apache web server is installed for an individual user.

When you install an Apache web server, select the option to "install as a service, available for all users " so during configuration, the SiteMinder Web Agent can detect the existing web server on a user's system.

Installing the Apache Web Server with the option "manual start, for current user only" allows the Web Agent to be installed; however, because the Configuration Wizard cannot detect the Apache web server, the Web Agent cannot be configured for the server.
