WampServer

Hi all, hope you can help me with this!

I recently downloaded and installed WAMPServer 2.0 to my Vista Home Premium (x32) laptop. But whenever I try to access localhost to continue I'm presented with a blank page (I'm using Firefox 3, in IE 7 I get a HTTP 404 error), I get the same results when I try 127.0.0.1. Why is this happening (I installed it to the C:/wamp directory)?

I read through some topics of a similar nature here and elsewhere online, some suggest deleting ':: localhost' from the hosts file at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc but when I try to make any changes using Notepad I'm told that the file can't be created (FYI in the hosts file there are the lines '127.0.0.1 local host' and '::1 localhost'.

The WAMPSever icon is 2/3 yellow on the left and white on the right.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

(I get the same problem when I try phpMyAdmin and SQLiteManager. When I click Put Online I get the message 'Could not execute menu item (internal error) [Exception] Could not perform servic action: The service has not been started'

Hi,

If the Wampserver-Icon is 2/3 yellow, it's not running.

It should be almost entirely white with only a small line to the very right.
Like a speed indicator a max speed.

Try left-clicking it and then "Restart all Services".

As for the hosts-File, It should look like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost

and nothing else, unless you KNOW why there is more!

Vista or your Virusscanner might prevent you from changing it.
I normally copy it elsewhere, edit it, and then copy it back to it's original location as an Administrator.

Doing that, I get multiple warnings, but if I confirm all of them, it works.

Cheers for the reply stoony.

Unfortunately choosing "Restart all Services" made no difference.

I also copied the host file to my desktop and from there removed "::1 localhost" before copying the edited version back to its original place, but that also did nothing.

Is there anything I need on my system along with WAMPServer?

Niall

u need to find out which service is not running. mysql or apache?

check in taskmanager for mysqld-nt or 2 htppd services


maybe turn ur computer on in safe mode to change that host files.

I checked Services in Task Manager but found none of those services you mentioned.

I was able to make the changes to the host file successfully, it's just that the changes made no difference.

Niall

maybe called

wampmysqld-nt

About 1/3 of the icon is white.

look up task manager > processes in the PID column for PID of 3436 and tell me wat the image name is of that process is


if its not on the list then u have microsoft iis installed. it is aother server. you need to disable it.

Open the Services in Administrative Tools folder on start menu, and set the WWW service to a manual startup or disabled if you never want to run it

There's no PID 3436 (the closest is 3492) and when I look through the folder I don't see a WWW service.

Niall

I just tried WAMPServer again this morning and it seems to be working fine (hopefully it'll stay that way!)

Thanks a million stooney and Steven for you help, I'm very grateful!

Niall

I had same problem and I did as instructed above but there was no PID 3436 and went to control panel Administrative tools >>services >>but there is no WWW in the list...
another thing solved my problem.

SKAYPE ( chating software) was holding the port and I exit skaype and my WAMP SERVER worked perfect..

I hope this helps

Kibrom

You can configure Skype not to use port 80. It's in advanced settings > connection.
