Hi,
Please start by reading
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPSAnd also
WAMPServer 3 All you need to know An orange icon means that either Apache OR MySQL has started, but not both. So now you need to work out which one has notr started
First find out which service has not started.
Using the wampmanager menus do :-
wampmananager -> Apache -> Service
If the Start/Resume Service menu item is Green and clickable, then Apache has not started
So look at the Apache error log
wampmanager -> Apache -> Apache error log
Then do
wampmananager -> MySQL -> Service
If the Start/Resume Service menu item is Green and clickable, then MySQL has not started
So look at the MySQL error log
wampmanager -> MySQL -> MySQL log
If either of these files does not exists, then the service failed before it could open these logs, so now you need to look at 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.
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.
**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.
