WampServer

I have down loaded WAMPserver and Wordpress. I canot get Wampserver to work properly. Wampserver appears to start and place an icon in the system tray. That Icon is red. When I click on the icon I get the menu offering wampserver 2.5 selections. When I click on either Local hosts or PhPmyAdmin I get an error page:>>>The page cannot be found - HTTP404 - System info follows

My system info:

You have some other application that has allocated port 80 before Apache can get access to it.

All web servers default to use port 80.


Wampserver provides a utility to find what has allocated port 80. So do this using wampmanager ( icon in the system tray )

left click wampmanager -> Apache -> Test port 80

This will launch a command windows. Tell us what it reports.

Skype was a problem but I still cannot get the expected result when I click on PhpMy Admin. I get no error message other than "This page cannot be displayed" If I click lon "fix connection problem" I get "The remote device will not accept connection" The system tray Icon is stil red or orange.

If the wampmanager icon is not GREEN then one (or both ) of the services ( Apache(wampapache)/MySQL(wampmysqld) ) has not started properly.

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.


How to Configure SKYPE so it does not require port 80 or 443
( This does not appear to be necessary on recent versions i.e. after march 2014 )

Run SKYPE
then using the menus do this:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection
Un-Check the checkbox next to 'Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incomming connections'
Now restart SKYPE for these changes to take effect.

If you are running Windows 8 SKYPE comes as a tiled app and this cannot ( as yet ) be configured in this way.
However if you uninstall the SKYPE app and install SKYPE in the old way, you can reconfigure it, and it works just as well.

How to Configure Team Viewer so it does not require port 80 or 443
Run TV
Extras -> Options -> Advanced -> Press the Advanced Button -> Advanced Network Connections
Check the checkbox saying [ Dont use incomming port 80 (recommended for web servers only )

If the problem is not obvious then post the errors here

Thanks for info. Wampserver appears to be working now. After stopping Skype I cycled the selections on "Quick Admin" section of the menu and eventually Wampserver icon turned green and now to the next stage. Thanks again.

Windows Server 2012 R2
All the "fixes" listed do not work. The Web related services do not exist. Still getting "httpapi/2.0" using port 80.

All the "fixes" listed do not work.

Then your "issues" are different!!



You are running one or more of these which are capturing port 80 before Apache can connect to it.

1. IIS
2. Web Deploy 2.0
3. MS Sql Server Reporting service.
4. BranchCache ( Windows 8.1 )

So either uninstall them if you are not using them, or disable or reconfigure them.

IIS was capturing port 80 prior to our uninstalling IIS. The other 3 are not running nor on the server. After uninstalling IIS, HTTPAPI/2.0 is now occupying port 80.
