WampServer

Hello All,

Out of sudden, the apache service stopped working and not running anymore!!

I have 2 versions already installed, I only use 2.2.21 .. Tried to switch over to the older one, 2.2.11, but also give me an error message.

I tried to Remove/Install the Service, also failed!! I'm in a deep need for the Apache to work now as I've lost all access to my database (GUI) and I need it as I'm in a middle of a project.

These images are from the Apache and the error I get:



When I try to start the service, I get the error below:



Finally, I tried to check if there is anything running on port 80, I got nothing ..



Just to notice, I have the server listening to 2 different ports, it was working just fine with me till today.

Kindly help.

Best Regards,
Sikas.

Just to add, I followed some steps from This Topic, first Reply by RiggsFolly And I quote the below from him.

This is just a part of his reply to the mentioned topic.

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.

Ok, After following the above, I've been able to identify the failure in the httpd.conf .. Corrected it as returned the variables to the defaults, but still, I now get no logs in the event viewer or the apache error logs!!!!

If things just stopped working then what have you changed recently?



Please make sure you have the latest version of all of these Microsoft C++ Redistributable runtime libraries.

The 2008 Redist is used by wampmanager
The 2010 Redist is used by some versions of Apache ( depending on compiler used )
The 2012 Redist is used by some versions of Apache ( depending on compiler used )

FOR WAMP 32bit
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) [www.microsoft.com]
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) [www.microsoft.com]

If you are using WampServer 2.4
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 [www.microsoft.com]
And select vcredist_x86.exe


FOR WAMP 64bit
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) [www.microsoft.com]
Yes you need the x86 Package regardless
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64) [www.microsoft.com]
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) [www.microsoft.com]
If you are using WampServer 2.4
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 [www.microsoft.com]
And select vcredist_x64.exe


If those dll's are present then try looking at the services on your PC.

click Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools ->Services

Look for 2 service, 'wampapache' and 'wampmysql'. Make sure that both exist and are set to Start Type = Manual.

I changed the debugging level and returned it to the same level it was.

I've used two different versions of WAMP and got the same result.

Look for 2 service, 'wampapache' and 'wampmysql'. Make sure that both exist and are set to Start Type = Manual.

Checked, and found both manual. The service wampmysql was already running. so, I tried to start wampapache as it was not running, but I got the same error.

I'm trying now to remove the network bridge and keep it running on only 1 interface rather than the bridge. If you thing of anything else, please tell me.

Ok, Installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 and removing the network bridge didn't work. I'll try rebooting my PC one more time and see ..

Get Teamviewer and ill take a look for you

Finally got it working .. After moving to WAMP 4.2, and restarting the PC, I found the service disappeared. I re-installed the service, and had my server up again and running

Well done.


If you have installed WampServer 2.4 then you should read through this post [forum.wampserver.com] and make the amendments it suggests.
