WampServer

Thank you very mutch!! same problem, same solution, i have tried to solve the problem for hours, now i can finaly get started

have done all of the above - cleaned registry, uninstalled WAMP, reinstalled WAMP, removed and tried to install service but still APACHE not working.

Any idea????

I have same problem with Apache not in service after installing WAMP5. I'm using XP. What is exactly meant by cleaning registry? Is it just deleting the wampapache file or everything? I can't find an a wampapache file, only the wampmysql file.

I went in and uninstalled WAMP5, found and removed the wampapache file/folder from the registry, and reinstalled WAMP5. Still no Apache service. I don't use Skype, but maybe I'm still using port 80 for something. I was using IIS with asp awhile back, but disconnected it. Could that still be the problem or something else using port 80?

have you got a wamapache service?

Hi there!

I've got some strange errors with apache2: I've installed WAMP on my system and MySQL just works fine, but apache cant answer to any queries. Apache service is up and running, no problems with it, httpd.conf is set properly, but when i am trying to reach localhost it does nothing, just waiting for answer...(I removed WAMP, cleaned all the apache, wamp and pther services, registry entries, then reinstall-> the same sh*t) I've installed WAMP to an other comupter and it works fine on that. I ve all my firewalls turned off, have no internet connection on that computer so no skype, nor trilian an so on... after a few hours i just looked for my EasyPHP 1.7 wich contains Apache 1 and it worked at once. But i need php5 and apache2. do you have any idea what the cause can be? If you need any further informations about my config or somethin else i can give them...

thanks in advance

Romain, no, I don't have Wampapache service or any file called wampapache.

Then open a dos window, go to c:/wamp and launch the install_services.bat file and tell me what it displays.

romain

I open up Command Prompt window, which says

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>

When I type anything in, I get back "(whatever I typed in) is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file."

What am I doing wrong? Pardon my ignorance, I'm a graphic/web designer with Dreamweaver experience, not a programmer. I appreciate your help.

romain! do you have any idea concerning my problem?

What has been cleared: I' ve tried a clean intall of apache 2.0.55 (from apache.org) and it produced the same problem so maybe the apache is buggy. If you have any idea how to solve my problem please share wit us. thanks

For Mark :

type

cd \
cd c:\wamp
install_services.bat


For RatSon :

It could come from a firewall blocking port 80 or an other app like IIS or Skype using port 80.

Romain

I've checked this possible causes. the most interesting thing is that apache 1.3 do works but 2.0.55 not

Hallo I had the same problem, but I think I have found the problem.

Goto START,
Goto "System Management"
Start "Internet Information Services"

Click websites
Select Standard website, right mouse selection

TAB "website"
IP 127.0.0.1
Change the TCP Port (80) to an other port number

TAB "Basic Map"change to c:\wamp\www
Change some options
Accept all

Install Apache from the wampservice
Start Apache from the wampservices

Succes!

Romain, looks like Apache 2 is trying to install, but shuts down because Port 80 is in use. MySQL is installing okay.

I have IIS, which I use to use for ASP a few years ago. I went in and disconnected it. IS that enough? If not, how do I change the port used by IIS? I also have Earthlink DSL. I don't think I have Skype. Thanks

Ok, so you need to uninstall IIS before installing WAMP.

Romain

Romain and Hans,
Got it working!!
My IIS was using Port 80 as suspected, so I changed it to 8080. If I uninstall IIS, I think my Earthlink connection will stop.. I went into Command Prompt mode again and did what Romain suggested and got Apache installed this time. Thanks a million!

great ;-)

Romain

Dear Roman,
I have the same problem but different text

Please, help!

I still have the problem. nothing else is on the default :80 port. what can be the problem?
