Any idea how this happened?

A reboot doesn't fix it?

I assume you're running on Windows? What flavor?

As far as I know, you're looking at a reinstall or a registry edit to fix this, so we'd better have the details.

But the apache is still there in the programes section an in the registry but its not in the services local section and I dont know how to install this application into the services local. please help.

(Assuming your Apache server is installed in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2 you can just type the following from within the bin directory:

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin>apache -k install

If there is no service installed it should install one. If there is already a service installed and it just isn't working properly you may want to check the error.log file to see why (just scroll to the bottom and look for a timestamp close to the last time you fired up the laptop).
