A bit of history: I'm running IIS on a Dell Poweredge server and accessing it over a network. Apache is installed in the C:\Program Files directory of my web server machine. Most of my work is in ASP so I'd like to keep IIS on port 80.
My goal is to install PHP/MySQL and Ruby on Rails, and learn to use these technologies.
I downloaded the win32 binary for Apache and installed it as suggested for running it in conjunction with IIS, with Apache as an alternate server (manual start using port 8080).
The httpd.conf file has been modified as per the instructions found at [httpd.apache.org ].
The documentation says that to start the server, I must be in Apache's bin directory, and from a command prompt, type
apache -k installI do that and get this message:
The name specified is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I feel like I must be missing something very basic but I have no idea what. I've been a DOS/Windows user for many, many years. Some training in Unix, but it's been a long time. Maybe too long? I keep thinking that to type 'apache -k install' and get it to work, there must be an executable named 'apache' in the bin directory, but there's not.
Can anybody point me in the right direction? I would be forever grateful.

After searching for apache*.* on my C: drive, I find no executable named apache anywhere. Is my installation of Apache bad?
