WampServer

I've installed wampserver 2.2 on my laptop. However whenever I click on phpMyAdmin I get this error message: 'HTTP Error 404.0-Not Found. The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed or is temporarily unavailable'.

What's the solution?

Thanks in advance.

I'm getting the same message

I am also experiencing the same 404 error.

I am new to WAMP, I did the install of the most recent version. I am getting the 404 error when I attempt to launch localhost. Have checked on forum and else where, there is another message entitled "WAMP installed - Error 404" on this forum, but can't get it to come up when doing a search on this forum. I had found it using Google. The URL for is: [forum.wampserver.com]. The last entry was in April, 2012 which was a list of suggested action, but there was no final message saying what solved the problem.

I chekced everything which was listed there, nothing on port 80, root is set correctly, but I found that there was no error log file. There was one comment to check the Windows Event View, but there was no indication as to check for what. My host file has the required uncommented 127.0.0.1 localhost entry and I have it posted to the apache root, on C:\, and in the windows > system32 > drivers > etc > hosts directory.

Any informaiton to help resolve with be greatly appreciated

A fellow co-worker tested out our company system and found that there is a hidden process running on port 80. His suggetion of using [localhost] worked

Now this is irratating, I just happen to come back into this posting to see how my reply would show up. To my great disappointment, this system decided to change the url I posted. I had entered, I am putting underscores between each character so that the system doesn't change it again:
h_t_t_t_p_:_/_/_l_o_c_a_l_h_o_s_t_:_8_0_8_0. The 8080 port is critcial. Also we changed the listening port listed in the apache httpd.conf file found on my system at: "C:\Program Files\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.2\conf\httpd.conf". This entry:
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 8080
was down about 80 or so lines from the top of the file.

this is all bad advice, Stop what ever is using port 80, and allow wamp to work as it should

Seems like good advice about closing whatever is using port 80 BUT - how do I find out what's using it and how do I close it. I'm a total Luddite about this.

click start > type in cmd and press enter

in the console type
netstat -aon|findstr :80

it should be the first line returned and you can confirm its the correct line if its

TCP 0.0.0.0:80

At the end of the line, there is a 1-4 Digit number that we will call X for now

then type
tasklist |findstr X

look again in the second column to make sure you have the right line.

you will then see the name of the process using port 80.


let me know what it is and ill explain how to fix it

Thanks for getting back so quick. The last number was 4. When I used findstr 4 it brought up System & services as the first line and a list of services - none of which I could identify as port 80.
Tim

System 4 means 1 of three things

1. IIS is running
2. Remote Desktop is enabled.
3. SQL Reporting Service is running.

its most likely IIS , and you will need to confirm you are not using IIS for other things, but to stop it

Open cmd as administrator (right click it on start menu> open as administrator)

type in
sc query W3SVC

you will either get

[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

or

SERVICE_NAME: W3SVC
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        STATE              : 4  RUNNING/STOPPED
                                (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

If you get the first error, try repeating the step with the service name of MSDEPSVC
sc query MSDEPSVC and then carry on if you recieve the 2nd information.



Next look at the STATE, if it says STOPPED, Then IIS is not the issue. If it says RUNNING, then we need to stop this service and disable it.

To stop it type

net stop W3SVC
OR
net stop MSDEPSVC

You will get a success or failure message.

If successful the service has stopped and not you can disable it using the command

sc config W3SVC start= disabled
OR
sc config MSDEPSVC start= disabled

Hi
when I ran the query cmd I got service type 20.
I then ran net stop and got World Wide Web Publishing Service Stopped
sc config etc.. gave me Change service config: successful.
Still no luck with Wamp

Steven

Ignore my previous message. I shut the system down and when I booted back up - Wamp was green. Phew - now I need a rest before continuing.

Thanks
Tim

I managed to activate Wamp by changing localhost:80 to localhost:8080. However I can only launch it through the browser, through wampserver console I still get the HTTP Error 404.0 message.

I tried the solution above. With MSDEPSV I get this message: [SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus: OpenService FAILED 1060: The specific service does not exist as an installed service.

With W3SVC I manage to stop the program, but after restarting the computer, I still get the HTTP Error 404.0 message.

I've installed Wamp in order to run a copy of my website offline. I managed to download joomla offline, and I also downloaded a copy of my website, as well as a copy of the database.

However I've not been able to activate the copy of the website. Is it due to the fact that I'm launching wamp through the browser and not the wampserver console?

Angela,

Try this:

left click the wampmanager icon in the system tray -> Apache -> Service -> Test port 80

This should start a command window and tell you what is using port 80

Report back what it says please.

I am getting a HTTP 403 error and the return from test port 80 is: Apache/2.2.22(Win64) PHP/5.4.3
Any suggestions?

Like me most people have routers and that it what is using port outside so it you connect to 18.568.54.29:80(this is a made up ip) it will bring up my router.

so thats why I use 8080 instead..

right localhost is working but url is not and this is from my url addy.

I use wamp a cople a months ago and it worked fine. i used it for 2years with no probs.

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /viewtyfulthemes/forum/index.php on this server.

Any help right now before I rip my hair out would be great..

well why would you post at the end of a thread about something else?

all routers allow you to change the software to run on another port.

Hi RiggsFolly;

This is the message I'm getting: Microsoft IIS/7.5

In the meantime I have uninstalled wampserver 2.2 and installed wampserver 2.0 as I was told the more advanced versions have issues with some CMS systems.

However I'm still experiencing exactly the same problems as before.

And this is what comes up when I run sc query W3SVC :

SERVICE_NAME: W3SVC
TYPE : 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
STATE : 4 RUNNING
(STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT : 0x0
WAIT_HINT : 0x0

Querying MSDEPSV still brings up this message: [SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus: OpenService FAILED 1060: The specific service does not exist as an installed service.

Thanks for your help.
