Hey guys,
I have been using wamp5 for about 6 months or so now and have never had any problems. Recently i noticed that the services were not starting when i start wamp server and didnt pay much attention to it as i wasnt using it for the last couple of weeks.
I now need to test a bog standard html site locally and i also want to start testing a joomla powered site locally but for some reason it is saying page not found when i go to localhost directory.
None of the services are running and im not sure why they have all of a sudden stopped. I tried restarting them manually with no joy, i then unistalled the services and reinstalled but still no joy. Finally i unistalled wamp5 completely from my system and deleted all files moveing my sites to another folder.
I then got the latest version of wamp5 being 1.7.0 from the wamp website. restarted machine, installed wamp, restarted machine again and still no joy. every now and a again i do get an error but there doesnt seem to be any pattern for the error showing up.
The error that pops up is:
<<<
Title: Aestan Tray Menu
Could not execute menu item (internal error) [exception] Could not perform service action: The service has not been started.
>>>
I am running windows XP Pro and as i mentioned i have successfully had wamp workig for some time and now out of no where it has broken down on me.
If anyone has exeperieinced this and has a fix please let me know or if you know where i can get some support please let me know.
If i can not fix the problem does anyone else no of another service similar to wamp that i can use. I dont like the idea of installing the services indiviually like i used to so something like wamp where its all in a bundle would be a help to get me back on my feet.
Thanks in advance
