WampServer

i have installed IIS on my machine and i have installed WAMP2. they were both sharing the same port 80 so WAMP wouldn't go on line, i have gone into the httpd con file in C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.6\conf and changed the line

Listen 80
to
Listen 81
now everything seems to be running OK (icon all white)
but when i go to open local host via wamp

it asks me for a username & password

can anyone tell me how to solve this
best wishes

Localhost through wamp tray icon still use port 80, and you actually access your iis webistes, so you have to check your iis

thanks but the wamp server on my machine would not run or go on line using port 80, it wouldn't start up.
it has started up since i changed to port 81. any ideas.

You have to access it as localhost:81

do not use port 81. I have just had the same problem as you. Port 81 is used by SSL, so its not a great port to use for this. Much better to use something like port 2929, which isn't used by other apps already.

i'm finding that when you access the localhost page you have to manually key the page as localhost:port number, so it looks like: [localhost] which should work.

dont forget to make the changes to that port in the apache config file first at the line where it says Listen 80.

good luck.

hi what is the correct url for the local host now?
i have tried many, but to no avail
server is working but still asking for password when i try and access local host using wamp icon
thanks

thanks a million, that is now working.....................

anyway it works
cheers life saver
