WampServer

Hi guys,
I just downloaded wamp today. When I open the icon in the system tray it says 'Put Offline' so I suppose I am online. When I click on phpMyAdmin I get the message 'HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found.' I use windows Vista.

For the history:
1. I already had MySQL installed in my computer before I installed wamp.
2. I have Skype installed but I have gone to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection and I have unchecked the box about using port 80 as alternative port.
3. I have TeamViewer installed.
4. I have gone to Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs -> Activate Deactivate Facilities and I have unchecked IIS.

I still have the problem. What should I do?

I left clicked on the W icon -> Apache -> Service -> Test Port 80 and I got a message that port 80 is actually used by Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0

I guess my question now becomes: how do I stop this application

I edited the httpd.conf file and changed port 80 to port 8080 in two places. The W icon turned from orange to green but when I click on phpMyAdmon I still get error 404.

Have you restarted Wamp? Press the Wamp icon and click Restart All Services.

I just did, the icon is green but when I click on phpMyAdmin I get the 404 error

If you changed the port you must add it to the URL

Localhost:8080/phpmyadmin


Your best to free up port 80 so apache can use it

Hi stevenmartin99,

your hint was very helpful, I changed it to Localhost:8080/phpmyadmin on the address bar and it worked! But when I clicked again on phpMyAdmin, again the same problem. How do I make it permanent?

I am more than willing to free up port 80 for Apache to use it but I don't know how.

Thanks a lot

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 now you can disable it using the command

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

thanks for the reply. In both cases I get the first message:

[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

Ok that only leaves one thing


In cmd type

Services.msc

Scroll down to

SQL REPORTING SERVICE

right click> properties>

Press stop and change the start type to disabled

Press apply and ok.

Change apache httpd.conf back to port 80 and restart wamp

Wow! thank you so much! I restarted all services from the W icon and it works perfectly. Will I ever have a problem in the future because I made all these changes to the IIS and the SQL reporting services? Were they useful for something else?

No , you didn't change IIS and your not using SQL ,you can enable it if you ever needed to use MSSQL but if you don't know what it is , i don't ul need it

Once again, thank you so much for your time and efford!

ok so there are others that may be having an effect and they dont always have the same names either just to make life really easy for us all.

You need to uninstall or change the service to either start manually or better still disable it.

Theses are the obvious ones:

1. IIS itself
2. Web Deploy 2.0
3. MS Sql Server Reporting service.

Hi everybody , i first must thank for your help because I had the same problem with the port 8080, but I have another problem now so I would ask for your help.
Actually when I type sc query W3SVC
in cmd as administrator I get the second message so I wanted to ask is there a way to make the port permanent and is there some action I should take to make the wamp work properly.
Thanks in advanced , your help will be appreciated .

No I am afraid any program can use any port, on a first come gets it basis.

What is the second message you get from the sc query W3SVC command?

What is your new problem?
