WampServer

Hi everyone!
I installed wamp server. At first all was fine until i started using Skype. At first i thought i made some mistake while installing. So i reinstalled. Now am getting a broken link error message. Am pretty sure Skype is the culprit. Can anyone relieve me of my misery by helping me to correct this port 80 issue?
many thanks
Armon

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

Hi
Thanks for your advice. I did what you suggested however when i tried again I got a broken link error message. I checked the port 80 again by doing a test, i still get the same message "Your port 80 is actually use by: information not available (might be Skype).
Any idea whats going on?
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/W7:

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, in folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc, open file hosts and delete anything in this file and have only this line below and nothing else

127.0.0.1 localhost
