WampServer

Hello,

I can start WAMPSQL service but WAMPAPACHE Service is not starting.

I have done everything the forum says like terminate skype, IIS, teamviewer etc.

Can you please advice

thanks

I reinstalled WAMP from the beginning and I noticed the service is not starting after installing apache 2.0.63

When I switch to this version the apache service will not start

I have windows 7 64bit and the 64bit version of wamp.


any solution to that? I have spend a 1-2 days to figure it out.

thanks

you cant only install apache2.0 its YEARS OLD

you need to also install a old version of php and mysql to match.

its written clearly on the site in the addons table

all versions must be 23bit if you are install addons as all addons are 32bit

Thanks for the reply,

I installed WAMP 32bit and I now have

Apache
2.4.4
2.0.63

PHP
5.4.16
5.0.5
4.4.9

MYSQL
5.6.12
5.0.88


I installed all the Redistributable runtime libraries as mentioned here:
[forum.wampserver.com]


Once I switch from apache 2.4.4 to 2.0.63 and choose the correct PHP ie 5.0.5 and MYSQL 5.0.88 for example I get his error
could not execute menu item (intrnal error) [exception] could not perform service action:

when I change MYSQL version.


any clues ?

I need old version to run old websites I have made.


thanks

Also if I try to switch back to 2.4.4 from 2.0.63 it wont let me saying I run an older version of PHP.

I have the newest version of PHP checked 5.4.16 and it does not let me switch.



Does anyone manage to run older versions of Apache and PHP on WAMP ?

if you want to get teamviewer ill fix it for you but you could also go directly to sourceforge and download an old wampserver

wamp5 or wampserver2a will do it i think

Hello,

I would like to inform you about a progress I did.

I installed Wampserver 2.2 and then I installed some version of apache, php and mysql.

It works on my desktop but it doesn't start on my laptop.

Because as I said the wampserver is on drive Z which is external hard drive so I can connect it either on my desktop or my laptop.

what might be wrong on my laptop ?


thanks

Are you sure when you connect it to your laptop that the external drive is set to be drive Z

yes 100%

Ahhh, you probably need to install the wampapache and wampmysql services on the laptop.

Run WampManager
left click wampmanager -> Apache -> Service -> Install Service
left click wampmanager -> MySQL -> Service -> Install Service

Then start all services.

I did that at the very beggining.

Ok, so what errors are you getting on the Laptop?

Cant start it, does not help very much!

I noticed that an old version of XAMPP was loading at startup and there was no service running showing for some reason.

I uninstalled xampp completely from my laptop and now WAMP is running on both laptop and PC.


thanks for all your help.

Duh,

One Apache per user only please.

Hello,

Today I tried to install WAMP server on my x64 Win7 machine.

First I got the usual errors like MSVCR110.dll not present etc.

So I installed all the VS Redistributables.

Then I was able to start the WAMP monitor in the tray without an error.

But it won't start the Apache2.4. I tried everything everyone has ever said on this issue on internet.

Obviously with no luck.

Then out of curiosity I opened the SERVICES from control panel and tried to search a service with the name WAMPAPACHE64, lo-n-behold, there was no service with that name.

I have no idea about APACHE or WAMP, but I know one thing for sure, you need to have a service registered in order to start it.

So I tried to start the service manually:

in cmd

cd C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\bin
httpd.exe -k start

But the service did not start as it was not installed.

So I did

httpd.exe -k install

AND WALLAAA... The service was installed.
Little did I know that the service was installed with the name "Apache2.4" and not "wampapache64".

So the WAMPSERVER exe still cannot find that service and will still remain orange, but the service can now be started manually and everything else works fine.

Don't know why the WAMP Monitor is stuck with the name "WAMPAPACHE64".

I am sure somehow this name could be changed to "Apache2.4"

Hope this helps.

Regards,
John

Hi,

The service wampapache64 should have been installed as part of the WAMPServer install.
However it only works if you install the MSVC Services BEFORE you attempt the install of WAMPServer, as Apache requires the latest MSVC runtime library to run.

There is a dialog message to this effect in one of the first Dialogs from the installer.

If you had wanted to register the wampapache64 (Apache) service after forgetting to install all the required MSVC services you can do this from the wampmanager menu like so

left click wampmanager -> Apache -> Service Administration -> Install Service

And this would have registered Apache with the correct name `wampapache64`


Don't know why the WAMP Monitor is stuck with the name "WAMPAPACHE64". We use this, and `wampapache` for the 32bit version so it does not conflick when ...

1. People try to install WAMPServer after trying to do it themselves and not properly uninstalling Apache first.

2. So that you can run 32bit and 64 bit WAMPServer on the same 64 bit windows box, without the service names conflicting!
Not at the same time of course

If you want to remove the service you registered in error then you can do it like this:

Start a command window using "Run as Administrator"
then do

>sc Apache2.4 delete

Then follow the instructions above to correctly register the Apache service.

Hope this explains a few things to your satisfaction

Hi,

> First I got the usual errors like MSVCR110.dll not present etc.

This is a "usual error" only for those who do not read the installation instructions. All prerequisites are clearly stated BEFORE the installation of wampserver actually starts.
If you do not follow them, it's only your fault.
