WampServer

Hi

I installed wampserver 2.5 in my windows 7 machine two days back.
Both the apache and sql services are installed and running. The icon has also turned green.
However, when I try to access localhost, it errors out with the message "Connection Timed Out". When I "test port 80" from the icon tray, it says "your port 80 is not actually used".
Running the netstat command, it shows that port 80 is used by the httpd.exe*32 process.

I don't have skype running in my machine. I uninstalled IIS and have stopped the Web Deploy service. There are no SQL related services running as well.

Moreover, there are no error logs reported in the eventvwr.

Could someone please help me with this. Have I missed anything. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Varun

Hi

On running the httpd.exe -e debug command, I got the following message:

AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
AH00451: no listening sockets available, shutting down
AH00015: Unable to open logs

It could not bind to port 80. However, checking the netstat command, it show that port 80 is bound with httpd.exe process.

Could you guys suggest what should be done next?

Thanks

Hi

Sorry, I forgot to add these details in the first post:

Version of Operating system: Windows 7 SP1
Version of Wamp Server installed: 2.5 - 32 bit
Version of Apache you are running: 2.4.9
Version of MySQL you are running: 5.6.17
Version of PHP you are running: 5.5.12

Thanks
Varun

Just checking here, when you run the httpd -e debug you must stop the Apache service that is running from WampServer or the two services will block each other.

Was Apache running in WAMPServer when you did the [httpd -e debug] ???

Hi

Initially I executed the httpd -e debug command when the apache service was running. When I tried running the command by stopping the service, I got the following error:

(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitte
d. : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80

However, if I run the netstat command at this point, I don't see any process listening to port 80.

Thanks

It seems possible that your IPV^ stack is ina bit of a mess. It can happen I have seen it a few times. If this is the issue try this ti reset the network stack

From a command window started using the 'Run as Administrator' option do :-

netsh winsock reset



Reboot if necessary

Try apache again

Hi,

For a complete and total reset of network IP configuration, in command line do:

   netsh winsock reset
   netsh winsock reset catalog
   netsh int ip reset reset.log
   netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
   netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log
   ipconfig /flushdns

Then restart the system.

Warning, this resets all the IP configuration that must be redone.

Have you tried accessing with IE or FireFox? Chrome can be a little picky about localhost!
