WampServer

I have installed Wamp for the first time ever for a college course on my computer running Windows 10 and the icon in the system tray is always orange. I asked my prof about this and he directed me to this page to resolve it:
[stackoverflow.com]

But after trying all the solutions posted there it still isnt working.
And yes my port 80 is open and free and i am not running skype, not sure what else to try.
Btw when i hover over the icon it says 1 of 2 services running
Thanks in advance

Hi

Well the first thing to do is see which of the 2 services are not started. Then you can start to work out why.


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 is Green then Apache IS NOT running.

Left click the wampmanager icon to reveal the menu-> MySQL -> Service

If the Start/Resume service menu is Green then MySQL IS NOT running.

So which service is not started?


Also it helps if you answer these questions so we know what versions of everything you are using [forum.wampserver.com]
