Windows 10,
WAMP Server 2.5 (Downloaded from [
www.wampserver.com])
Apache 2.4.9
PHP 5.5.12
MySQL 5.6.17
Colour of server icon: Amber.
I'm trying to install WordPress and, as part of that, I'm installing WAMP Server. It appears to install correctly (no error messages) but the wamp server icon won't go green. I've been doing some investigating and I believe that's because the wampapache64 service isn't started. If I try and start it manually It gives a server specific error code 1. The system event log just says "Incorrect Function".
Any idea how I can fix this?
I've gone through the checks here: "[
forum.wampserver.com]; and believe I've covered all the relevant ones.
This was a new install, not an upgrade.
I've installed as admin
I'm installing to D:\wamp
No Skype
No other php.ini files
I've checked the hosts file (it originally had localhost entry 4 times but I've reduced that to 1)
I've turned IIS off in features. I've also stopped the service using IIS manager.
pings return success
exceptions have been added to anti virus
No errors in MySQL or Apache Log Files (actually, the files don't exist at all)
I think that's everything I should have checked but I am outside my conform zone here so if I've missed anything please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help
