Could not execute menu item (internal error) [Exception] Could not perform service action: The service has

Kindly Help.

Put online Wamp is a part of the process to allow users from lan or wan to see your server.
It is not required to load your projects.
However, it tells you that the service is not started, and it's Apache service (your webserver).

So, launch it from wamp menu -> Apache -> Service submenu.
If you can't (wamp icon not white) then check Apache logs and test port 80 (from submenu)

The service is used by IIS 5.0.

How can i get rid of this error because i also want my IIS to run.

Kindly suggest.

As IIS and Wamp are both webserver listening port 80, there are conflicts.
So you can disable one to allow the other to run fine (you can setup asp.net on wamp), or you can change one port.

Note: You can use my patch to easily change Apache port in all needed urls and conf files in wamp.

IIS and Apache/Wamp are both web server and might conflict in some way, so you have to disable IIS in order for Wamp to work

Disable IIS in Vista/Win7:

Control Panel, Uninstall Programs, Turn Widows Features On or Off, uncheck Internet Information Services

Disable IIS in XP:

Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, uncheck Internet Information Services (IIS)

Restart computer, then restart Wamp

Also, open file hosts in folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc and make sure you have only this line and nothing else

127.0.0.1 localhost

also, if susing skype then open skype... tools>options>connection>advanced> untick "use port 80"

hey,
i had a similar issue with wamp on vista. The problem can be resolved by changing the port no. on which apache listens.

left click the wamp icon in the status bar , go to apache and then click on httpd.conf.
Change the Listen 80 directive to Listen 8080 or any other unused port.
Now you can access localhost by using [localhost] in the browser.

What i did after this was to install the patch mentioned in toumimi's patch and then reconfigured the port just incase there are other instances of port nos in the code which i have not changed.

Hope this helps
