If WAMPServers icon is not GREEN then one or both of the Apache(wampapache) or MySQL(wampmysql[64]) has not started.

First lets find out which one.

Using the wampmanager menus do :-

wampmanager -> Apache -> Service
If the 'Start/Resume service' menu is Green and clickable then Apache has not started

wampmanager -> MySQL -> Service
If the 'Start/Resume service' menu is Green and clickable then MySQL has not started


Right now lets see why is has not started :-

Look at the Apache or MySQL error log, depending on which service has not started.

If these do not tell you anything also look at the 'Windows Event Viewer'
On the left of the windows, click on 'Windows logs' and below that 'Applications'

Look for ERROR messages from either Apache or MySQL.



If you cannot work out what is wrong, post some of the error messages here and we will make suggestions.

Sir, thanks a lot for reply.

I found 1. Apache= start/ resume service menu is green n clickable, after clicking the msg comes "could not execute menu item ( internal error)
[Exeption] could not perform service action:
the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."

2. Mysql = start/ resume service menu in not green n unclickable.

thanks sir

So from that we can deduce that the APache service has not started.

When the Apache service is not started, you can get that error message when yuo click something that is trying to start or stop the Apache service ( because it is not there of course )

So the most likely issue is that somethign else has grabbed port 80, which Apache requires. So let see if that is the case.

Do this :-

wampmanager -> Apache -> Test port 80

This will load a command window and tell you what is using port 80, IF something else is.


You can also look at the Apache error log for clues as to why it has not started. If that is no help then look at the Windows Event Viewer, for messages from Apache.


Post any error's back here if you cannot see what the issue is!

Can you try this again. However this time,

Backup anything you think you need to keep if you have not already done so.


Uninstall WAMPServer
Delete the \wamp\ folder and all sub folders.
Reinstall WAMPServer

Now test that it runs, before copying anything from the old install over this install. Let me know if this works.


When you say that you copied back the apache and data folder!! Where these from the same version of WAMPServer i.e. The same version of Apache and the same version of MySQL?
