After Apache -> Service -> Install Service - message displayed from php.exe is
Your port 80 is actually used by:
Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0
Cannot install the Apache service, please stop this application and try again.

Hello,

That message say :-

You have Microsoft IIS installed, this too is a web server and as its M$ it is autostated and therefore allocates port 80 for itself at boot time, so Apache cannot have it.

If you dont use IIS then uninstall it. For some unknown reason M$ installs it by default on some recent versions of the OS. removing it does not cause any problems and will give back some resources that were being used for no good reason.

If you do use IIS, then stop it while you are using WAMPServer.

other tools that may have come with with IIS that also need uninstalling or stopping/disabling.

1. IIS
2. Web Deploy 2.0 (Web Deployment Agent Service)
3. MS Sql Server Reporting service.
4. BranchCache ( Windows 8.1 )
5. SQL Server VSS Writer

Please try to ignore suggestions that you should use another port number for Apache as this will cause other complications you probably dont want at this stage in your learning curve.

Changed the listen to 8000 from port 80 and now I have Green!! However when going phpMyAdmin I get the 'HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found' message in the browser.

What did the last sentence say in my answer post
