What version of Apache are you running, 2.0 or 2.2?

Then ensure that matches the precompiled binaries you picked up from:

  http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/modpython/win/3.2.10/

The Apache version number is in the name of the file.

Sorry, don't how on Windows to tell which version of Apache you are running.

If that doesn't help, will have to let some people who do know something
about Windows comment. I am only regurgitating previous suggestions
from past mailing list posts.
