What do I try next?

Thanks!
Dirk

Ok so MySQL looks like it is running fine, so I assume it is apache that has not started as you say the wampmanager icon is Orange.


Try this


How to tell which service is not running if the wampmanager icon is orange.

Left click the wampmanager icon to reveal the menu-> Apache -> Service
If the Start resume service menu item is Green then Apache is running.

Left click the wampmanager icon to reveal the menu-> MySQL -> Service
If the Start resume service menu item is Green then MySQL is running.

If Apache is the service that is not running it is normally, but not always, because something else has captured port 80.

Now do,
Left click the wampmanager icon to reveal the menu-> Apache -> Service -> Test port 80
This will launch a command window and display some information about what, if anything is using port 80.

Whatever it is should be re-configured to not use port 80 or uninstalled if you are not using it.

If port 80 is not the problem look for errors in the appropriate error log ( use the wamp manager menus to view the error logs )

If these do not exists or show no errors then also check the Windows Event Viewer
Start -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer
And look in the 'Windows Logs' -> Application' section accessed from the menu on the left of the dialog for error messages from Apache and or MySQL.


How to Configure SKYPE so it does not require port 80 or 443

Run SKYPE
then using the menus do this:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection
Un-Check the checkbox next to 'Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incomming connections'
Now restart SKYPE for these changes to take effect.


How to Configure Team Viewer so it does not require port 80 or 443
Run TV
Extras -> Options -> Advanced -> Press the Advanced Button -> Advanced Network Connections
Check the checkbox saying [ Dont use incomming port 80 (recommended for web servers only ) ]

If the problem is not obvious then post the errors here

TY!

Found the solution here ...

[forum.wampserver.com]

You might want to add it to list of solutions after Skyple and TV.

Thanks again!!!

I have the same issue. It was working fine. Installed MS SQL studio express to migrate mssql database to mysql. After that the wamp dosent go green.

WAMP port 80 is green. But mysql - service- start/resume - is disabled.

Please help.

Hi ficuskk

Well in that case I think you will find that MS SQL Studio express has installed something that is capturing port 80.

These are the normal things that do that, you shoudl try and reconfigure, or if you are not actually using them disable their services

1. IIS
2. Web Deploy 2.0
3. MS Sql Server Reporting service.
4. BranchCache ( Windows 8.1 )

Hi,

To see wath application or service is using the port 3306, open a Command Windows as an Administrator.
In this, type the following command:

netstat -anop TCP | find "3306"

You'll obtain a result like:

 TCP    0.0.0.0:3306           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       4404

The number on the right is the PID (Processus Identifier): in this case 4404
To find what process is 4404, you type:

tasklist /FI "PID eq 4404" /FO TABLE /NH

In this case the response is:

mysqld.exe                    4404 Services                   0   123 996 Ko
