WampServer

I HAVE INSTALLED WAMP SERVER BUT ITS NOT OPENING LOCAL HOST PAGE ON BROWSER..PLS HELP TO FIX ,YOU CAN HELP ME VIA TEAMVIEWER ALSO

I have installed the WAMP server (Apache 2.2.22 – Mysql 5.5.24 – PHP 5.3.13 XDebug 2.1.2 XDC 1.5 PhpMyadmin 3.4.10.1 SQLBuddy 1.3.3 webGrind 1.0) on Windows 7 64 bit system. The install seemed to go fine. The server comes up green. I do not see any errors in the log file. I receive a page not found when going into local host.

try this:

edit httpd.conf using the wampmanager menus
left click wamp manager -> Apache -> httpd.conf

Search for this line

Listen 80

Change it to

Listen 0.0.0.0:80

Does that cure the problem?

I did as above. Stopped and started all services.The WAMP server is green and says WAMPSERVER - server Online but still receive "The page can not be found." when selecting Localhost.

Do you want to send me a Private Message with your Team Viewer ID and PWD and I will have a look.

Yes I will PM you.

I found the issue. There is "something" in Windows 7 or Office 2010 (I think) running a server process titled "WOS Web Dav Interface". I moved WAMPSERVER to port 8080 and it works fine. I will continue to look and see what starts that process.

It is best to leave your server on 80, Dont actually know what WOS Wwb Dav is but WebDav can come with IIS.

If you are not using IIS it is best to uninstall it.



Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features
Click the 'Turn windows features on and off' link in the left hand menu.
Wait for the list to load and then find 'Internet Information Services'

Un check the check boxes for the following items ( you may not see all of them )

1. IIS
2. Web Deploy 2.0
3. MS Sql Server Reporting service.

Windows will then have a think for a while and then remove those applications, you will probably be asked to reboot to complete the uninstalls.
Reboot anyway when the uninstalls are complete.

Then try wamp again.

I have had the same problem with windows 8 not showing localhost. I have tried changing the config file as suggested however that did not work so I changed back to Listen 80. I have had no problems with Windows 7 using the same method. pls help

I am only 4 days into WAMPserver, so I am NOT an expert. But the 2 things that helped me solve my issue, once I got the server to green and could not get to localhost (page not found) were:
1.) Select the server icon. Select "www directory" and make sure it is pointing to where it should and that there are files there.
2.) Select the server icon. Select Apache. Select service. Select "test port 80". See what port 80 is actually used by.
Good hunting!

Thank you for your help. Your first question,

1.) Select the server icon. Select "www directory" and make sure it is pointing to where it should and that there are files there. --- It points to my Documents/wamp/www --- where there are an index and testmysql files.

2.) Select the server icon. Select Apache. Select service. Select "test port 80". See what port 80 is actually used by. --- I get "your port 80 is actually used by:
Server: Apache/2.2.22 <Win64> PHP/5.4.3

I still get Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Have any other ideas

I got nothing. That is all I have learned to date. Sorry I could not help. I will leave you in the hands of the experts.

Uninstall wampserver and then reinstall it.

Install it to the root of c:\

i.e. in c:\wamp

I have done that already. After going through a Lynda.com tutorial on installing wamp I had to stop at the same point in the lesson. I spent two weeks with them on line to no avail. The teacher Morten Rand-Hendriksen could not fix this problem so, Has anyone been able to use wamp on windows 8 is the question.

Yes of course they have.

Looks like the simplest way to solve this would be for you to install Team Viewer.

I am on UK time, thats GMT+1, I am normally available most days Monday to Friday 09:00 to 16:30.

Let me know what timezone you are in and if my normal day does not fit with yours we can try and arrange a time thats good for both of us.

Do that and then send me a Private Message with the TV ID and PASSWORD.

Thank you. I will be ready most days and if you need I will get up in the middle of the night. I have installed the TeamViewer. I'm in the Pacific time zone.


I grew up in the 50s in Pasadena CA with my family that came over the pond after ww2. So even though I was born here I know the United Kingdom. At that time I was the only surfer in Southern California. with a British accent.

I look forward to working with you. I will send you the TV ID and PASSWORD.

I am available now if you are
