WAMP server not starting (newbie question)

Hey guys,

So I`m having this issue that I didnt have 2 weeks ago. When I`m trying to start the server from the Win7 quickbar, I receive an error which is somewhat like the following : "Service could not be started" . I have reinstalled wamp server, with the same result.

Some help would really be appreciated, I need to finish work on a website as soon as possible, and I cant continue with this issue persisting.

Thanks a lot !

Here the main problem is WINDOWS operating system...if you didnt make any mistake in installing...cause it is so simple...

Now first you have to stop your IIS from administrative tool...then & only u will be able to start WAMP services...There can be another prob also...if you have WEB MATRIX installed in that it can cause this prob...of stopping processes . If you really wanted to start that perfectly you have to uninstall or stop its services..

Yes, indeed, I think that is the problem.

I downloaded the SDK for Azure couple of days ago, and it stopped working properly. I`ll try to reinstall now after disabling IIS and I`ll get back to you.

To fix this 1. You must open your ports. If you are going through the internet
2. This might be that your Apache port is not working so Click Wamp > Apache > httpd.conf
3. Now find "Listen 80" and change it to "Listen 8080" And don't use the ""'s

IIS...Internet Information Server...which is one product of microsoft...As you( mmartinaud) are using WAMP so it contains Apache Server..

Web matrix is also a product of microsoft & one platform to develop the website...


1>Here basic rule is two website/software cant be hosted/work on same port on one laptop or any where else

2>So here in your PC/Laptop if you are using this type of software so they occupies port 80 forcefully so our process of apache cant be started.

3>Skype & other software are also using port 80

4>& this all makes your WAMP in tray bar only YELLOW not GREEN...Green means perfectly working..

Solution::
>>To disable IIS control panel>Administrative Tools>IIS manager... on the right side you will find Start,Stop,Restart...

>>So simply Stop that

>>& about other softwares like webmatrix you have to uninstall or stop their process with help of task manager

>>This all process will start again when you restart your laptop....so u have to stop them at starting only...

I hope this all clarify much...
