I'll assume that it seemed to install correctly.  As a quick simple 
sanity check try typing the command in a bash prompt and see what 
happens.  Make sure that starts ok.  If it goes to the background, you 
will need to find the parameter that keeps apache in the foreground.  
cygrunsrv needs this.  Otherwise it can say that the service has not 
started when it is running.

Check the windows event viewer for more logs.  Might be nothing, but 
might also give hints to what may be happening.

Almost sounds like apache wants to start, but is encountering a problem.

Configuration problems.  File permissions.  Check them all.
