WampServer

Running W2K3, Apache 2.2.1, MySQL 5.1.36 and PHP 5.30

I'm a newbie, so be gentle..

Have had no issues for 2 months, and yesterday I shutdown the services, changed my SMTP server in PHP.ini. using WAMP. ** This was the first time I shutdown the services, someone else installed and set it up.

Tried to go on line.

Received Error "could not execute menu item (internal error) [exception] could not perform service action: The service has not been started" when bring WAMP online.

Tried restarting the serivce manually, no luck.

Restarted the server

Backout the changes to PhP.ini

Did the same as above, restarted server.. Same issue


Help would be appreciated

Thanks in Advance
Chris

check the logs in c:/wamp/logs

Thanks

Getting closer, I resolved the issue with MySql, there was another version running on the server.

WampMySQL service is running.
WampApache is not

But, I still getting the same message "could not execute menu item; service has not been started"

Looks like Apache is not starting, and no errors in the log, maybe error reporting is turn off..


Any Ideas, I did mention that I'm a newbie.

Thanks for the help

check netstat


open cmd

netstat -aon

Just checked Hyypd.conf and it has listen 80


#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80

Listen 80


Thanks Steven for the help.

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/7:

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 delete anything in there and have only this line and nothing else

127.0.0.1 localhost

if using skype, open skype > tools>options>advanced>connection and uncheck "use port 80..." then restart wamp then skype

IIS is not installed and hosts file only had "127.0.0.1 localhost"

Issue resolved.

The problem was a Invailded path under Alias:<Directory "E:\\wamp\\www\\Production_Control\\output"> path is invalid. Not sure where it came from as the server doesn't have a E: drive

After commenting out the path and recycle Wamp, Apache came right up


Thanks for all the help
