WampServer

Have WAMP indicating green on a Windows 7 laptop where I must use "LocalHost:8080". Have been able to do manual entries into MySQL. Can get to the PHPMyAdmin Log In screen and enter proper credentials. When clicking on Go get "Waiting for Localhost .... at the bottom left courner. Eventually it times out. I have tried many suggestion found in the form, but so far none have worked.

Suggetions will be greatly appreciated.

Why must you use port 8080??

Company laptop, company project, company IT is using that port for some hidden background function.

Does the Apache error log or the php error log throw any light on the subject?

The listing below is from my Apache Log file from a little while from a fresh attempt to launch PHPMyAdmin after logging in.

This listing is from my MySQL log:

There was not entry following the 9:29 entry to correspond with my attempt to launch PHPMyAdmin after loggin in.

There were no entries in my PHP log file.

The listing below is from my netstat -o showing just listing relating to 127.0.0.1:

The key word in my previous response is "hidden", it is key because I have not be able to find anything using port 80. A coworker said that it was in use by a company process and to use port 8080. Using the port 8080 got me along a lot further than any other attempts to get past the 404 error I had been getting following my install of Wamp.

Thank you for your assistance!

can i take a look with teamviewer?

I can let you view things, but our policy will not let you have control. If that will work, then we can do a teamview session. I'll have to get a copy loaded onto my system. FYI: We use Webex for our team sharing needs, in case you already have Webex, we could use it instead.

only teamviewer , view is ok i guess

Thank You for your assistance Steve, I was realy chasing my tail trying to figure what I need to get done to make Wamp apps to work with using port 8080. I really appreciated you taking the time to find all the wrong entries I had made and got the system back to the essentials so that it could work properly.

If I may suggest, create a posting which would list the specific places with the right parameter settings needed to be changed in the default installation parameters to accomodate using port 8080.

I agree with SSN651 suggestion and please make it simple. I'm having a similar issue, I would appreciate having the solution but I'm not an IT genius.
