The recommended default is ThreadsPerChild 50 . The directives that accept filenames as arguments now must use Windows filenames instead of Unix ones. However, because Apache uses Unix-style names internally, you must use forward slashes, not backslashes. Apache for Windows contains the ability to load modules at runtime, without recompiling the server. To activate these, or other modules, the new LoadModule directive must be used.

The -n option to specify a service name is only available with Apache 1.3.7 and later. Earlier versions of Apache only support the default service name 'Apache'. Once a service is installed, you can use the -n option, in conjunction with other options, to refer to a service's configuration file. The Start menu icons and the NT Service manager can provide a simple interface for administering Apache. But in some cases it is easier to work from the command line.
