WampServer

I have been trying to get wamp running for a college course for 3 days now, I have been to several forums and have tried all suggestions but I am still coming up with nothing! I am running Windows 10 64 bit, port 80 is OPEN, I have read through all of the troubleshooting tips page and made sure I've followed everything to the letter before I came asking for help, I do not have skype, I have adjusted my hosts file to make 127.0.0.1 active, wamp was installed as administrator. MySql is version 5.7.14, Apache is version 2.4.23, and php is version 5.6.25. Right now the wamp icon is orange with MySQL running and Apache not running.
This text is from the event viewer:

The Apache service named

reported the following error: >>>
(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80

And this text is from the Apache error logs:

(OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
AH00451: no listening sockets available, shutting down
[Fri Sep 30 22:08:20.795478 2016] [:emerg] [pid 2356:tid 592] AH00019: Unable to open logs, exiting

However, when I click wamp icon>Apache>Service Administration>Install Service I get:

Your port 80 is available, Install will proceed.
Press Enter to continue...


I could really use some help in getting this all figured out as I am on a huge time crunch to get this class going. Thank you to all who help in advance.

Hi,

I did check to make sure that my computer was compatible with IPv6 also. The ping returned 0% package losses on IPv4 and IPv6

Hi,

What is the result of:
Right-Click Wampmanager tray icon -> Tools -> Test port 80

You can also do: 'http://localhost/test_sockets.php' the result should be :

Socket IPv4 supported

Socket IPv6 supported
