WampServer

Hi,

I installed Wamp 2.0i yesterday and can not get the test page [localhost] to run (it shows a blank screen) apache seems to be the issue. Something is blocking port 80 but it won't say which program (Skype is not the issue as I have turned it off)

Any ideas what I can do to fix the prot issue?

Thanks

make sure no other program conflict wamp such as iis, skype, zonealarm, firewall/antivirus, nod32, eset, any web related program ...

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:
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 then delete everything in there and have only this line and nothing else
127.0.0.1 localhost

if using skype, open skype > tools > options > connections > advanced > untick "use port 80 ..." then restart wamp then skype

Have fun,
