Tried the below command but didnt work

httpd.exe -k start -k config ..\conf\custom-httpd.conf -n "Apachefacade"

You should be able to simply change the default config to point to your custom config:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#include

If you're trying to start a second instance you need a -f to specify the config, in your example you've used -k

  • My goal is to create 2 Apache services one uses httpd.conf and another uses custom-httpd.conf file

  • Isn't that -f "c:\conf\custom-httpd.conf"

If you pass a command like this to create your 2nd service:

httpd.exe -f conf/2.conf -k install -n server2

Then anytime you start the service named "server2" it will start with the alternate configuration specified by -f.
