WampServer

Hi,

I just installed WampServer, after installation I restarted computer, and now it looks fine, as working and "online". But after when I am going to localhost, I have blank page.

I was trying to find solution, but can't find one.

Please answer these questions [forum.wampserver.com]

Version of Operating system?
Windows 7 Home

Version of Wamp Server installed?
Wampserver 2.4 (64)

Version of Apache you are running?
2.4.4

Version of MySQL you are running?
5.6.12

Version of PHP you are running?
5.4.12

What colour is your WampManager icon? ( the in the system tray )
It could be Green, Orange or Red
Orange

Do you have a HOSTS file? [c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts]
yes.

If the wampmanager icon is not GREEN then one of the services ( Apache/MySQL ) has not started prperly.

How to tell which service is not running if the wampmanager icon is orange.

Left click the wampmanager icon to reveal the menu-> Apache -> Service
If the Start resume service menu item is Green then Apache is running.

Left click the wampmanager icon to reveal the menu-> MySQL -> Service
If the Start resume service menu item is Green then MySQL is running.

If Apache is the service that is not running it is normally, but not always, because something else has captured port 80.

Now do,
Left click the wampmanager icon to reveal the menu-> Apache -> Service -> Test port 80
This will launch a command window and display some information about what, if anything is using port 80.

Whatever it is should be re-configured to not use port 80 or uninstalled if you are not using it.

If port 80 is not the problem look for errors in the appropriate error log ( use the wamp manager menus to view the error logs )

If these do not exists or show no errors then also check the Windows Event Viewer
Start -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer
And look in the 'Windows Logs' -> Application' section accessed from the menu on the left of the dialog for error messages from Apache and or MySQL.

Hi wedding,

If the 'Test port 80' screen tells you you are running skype then it must already be running.
