If your wamp manager icon is orange it is telling you that either the Apache or MySQL service has not been started.

First thing to do is identify which service has not started.

The simple way is to use the wamp manager menus,

Its most likely, but not definitely, Apache thats the problem.

left click the wamp manager icon -> Apache -> Service
and look at the menu item 'Start Resume Service', if it is green and clickable then its Apache that has not started.


Then do:-
left click the wamp manager icon -> Apache -> Service -> Test port 80

this will open a command window and tell you if anything has captured port 80 before Apache can get hold of it.

That software will have to be re-configured or uninstalled.

Get back with the results if you are not sure what to do.

I've checked. Yes. Apache is not running. Test for 80 port says "Your port 80 is not actually used".

What i've done before:

1. In wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\conf\httpd.conf I've activated this row
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

2. I've written
Include "C:/wamp/www/virtualhosts.conf"
in the same file

3. Here is the content of my virtualhosts.conf from the pointed folder:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "с:/wamp/www"
ServerName "localhost"
</VirtualHost>

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/antilopa"
ServerName antilopa.ru
</VirtualHost>

4. Here is the content of C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc for my Win 7 x64:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 antilopa.ru

May be there is a log file describing what's wrong, isn't it?

Check your apache error log and if that empty your Event Viewer -> Windows logs -> Applications
Apache writes in there if it errors before it can get to its own log.


you could also re-comment the Virtual Hosts fil ein httpd.conf to see if the basic wamp will work, that would point you to a bad vhost config.

thank you all
as it turns out i forgot a "/" sign at the end of a path in virtualhosts.conf here:
...
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/"
...

Could you tell how can i install wamp on a flash drive?
