WampServer

Hello Riggs

I have recently loaded Wampserver 2.4 onto my Windows XP (32 bit) machine, earning an orange icon for my troubles. Before loading Wampserver 2.4, Visual C++ was loaded. I'm at at a loss as to what the issue is. Below is all the relevant information. Any clues would be appreciated.

regards

Hi Havelly,

Well an Orange icon means one of the services (wampapache or wampmysqld) has not been able to start. As the MYSQL error log shows a GOOD start of MySQL that means its Apache that has not started.

The Windows Event Viewer normally shows an error like that along with some text describing the error, maybe you could have another look at that !


The normal issue with Apache is that some other process has already captured TCP port 80.

The first thing to look for is what has grabbed port 80, if anything.

So try this :

Using the wampmanager menus do

wampmanager -> Apache -> Test port 80

This will launch a command window and tell you what is using port 80.

You will have to re-configure whatever it is or uninstall it if its something you no longer use.

If you are not sure how to proceed let us know what this tells you is using port 80.

Hello Riggs

It appears to be working - the icon is green!
Your advice was spot on - port 80 was used by another program which I then uninstalled.
Thank you once again.
