Why not use vmware or similar to create a virtual *nux machine on your Windows box. You set up the virtual machine and then install *nix on it plus Apache etc. The main advantage of this is that this machine can be IDENTICAL to your production box (almost down to the last detail) so the transfer will almost inevitably work or a the very least be pretty painless.

Although this will work the cheapest option would be to buy and old 586/686 for less than $100 and put up a *nix development server.

Now as to your problem. The first error shows that neither . or /usr/sbin/ are in you path (command not found) so try calling apachectl with the full path (or as ./apachectl if you are in /usr/sbin). If you can't find a working Apache on your cygwin install just build it from source from the tarball. It is usually fairly painless. You will have gcc......
