WampServer

I have installed wampserver 64bit 3.1.0 successfully on 2 static PC's both running windows 10 pro 64bit, and a cloud server running windows server 2016 64 bit.

However I have the same issue from all three installations, wampserver only loads 2 of the 3 services, the php service fails with this line in the error report

[12-Oct-2017 07:50:39 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '-' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in Unknown on line 0


I have wampserver using 7.1.9 and I have made the correction from the forums

zend_extension="c:/wamp/bin/php/php7.1.9/zend_ext/php_xdebug-2.5.5-7.0-vc14.dll"
- by
zend_extension="c:/wamp/bin/php/php7.1.9/zend_ext/php_xdebug-2.5.5-7.1-vc14.dll"


I have excluded any interference from my security software.


All my OS are fully patched and upto date, along with all drivers. All MSVC have been installed prior to the wampserver installation.



I have discovered another error:

State of services:

The service 'wampapache64' is NOT started
EXIT error code:1066
Help message for error code 1066 is:
The service has returned a service-specific error code.



The service 'wampmysqld64' is started

The service 'wampmariadb64' is started

WampServer (Apache, PHP and MySQL) will not function properly if any service
'wampapache64'
'wampmysqld64'
'wampmariadb64'
'dnscache'
is not started.

Hi

Have you checked the windows event viewer for more information about Apache not starting?

I think it could be:
- Another php.ini file (or another php installation)
See point 06 of TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
- PHP_INI_PATH environment variable
- A registry key for php.ini. See : [php.net]

From my understanding isn't 2 versions of php required by wampserver? Or should I delete the other folders of older versions?

Hi, I have now checked the event logs, this is what I found:

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> (OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> (OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. : AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> AH00451: no listening sockets available, shutting down

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> AH00015: Unable to open logs .

Is this a typical windows permissions issue?

Hi,

> Or should I delete the other folders of older versions?
NO.
Theses php.ini files or symlink are into wamp folder.

But fatal error said : "(include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in Unknown on line 0"
and all include_path directives are not active (always commented) in all wampserver php.ini files :

; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
;include_path = ".:/php/includes"
;
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
;include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"

Please, do as RiggsFolly wrote :

You can also try to start wampapache64 in services manager and see what is the error.

Even if Wampmanager tray icon is not green, you may check :
- Right-Click wampmanager tray icon -> Tools -> Test port 80

Hi, I already posted the windows event logs above your post.

Tested almost every open port on my system. Here is the output for port 80:

***** Test which uses port 80 *****

===== Tested by command netstat filtered on port 80 =====


Test for TCP
Your port 80 is used by a processus with PID = 4
The processus of PID 4 is 'System' Session: Services
The service of PID 4 for 'System' is 'N/A'
*** ERROR *** This service IS NOT from Wampserver - Should be: 'wampapache64'

Test for TCPv6

*** ERROR *** This service IS NOT from Wampserver - Should be: 'wampapache64'

===== Tested by attempting to open a socket on port 80 =====

Your port 80 is actually used by :

Server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0

I have installed port forwarding that takes a variety of ports used by Opensim etc in the range between 8000-9010 and also any http requests and point those requests and incoming port triggers to this specific PC on my network through the router.

My Goal is to host several grids from this PC, so our group of 4 can work on them. I have enough bandwidth and HD/SSD capacity to do this. Hence my reason to get wampserver up and running.

I appreciate your efforts in helping me.

Hi,

The wampapache64 service can not be installed because, after installation, Wampserver uses the default http port, that is; port 80.
Because this is occupied by IIS, the service can not be installed.

One can try something that I have never tried and that I am not at all sure that it works because the create service task use port 80 ; may be I have to modify this to use the modifed port !

Even Wampserver icon is not green :
- Right-Click -> Tools -> Use a port other than 80
Try 8080
- Left-Click -> Apache -> Service administration -> Install Service
- Left-Click -> Apache -> Service administration -> Start service

That made the icon go green , I'll see if it breaks further down the way before tackling the port as I have a lot of devices on that router ... thanks for all the brilliant help guys, will let you know if all goes to plan hereon-in.

Here is the port 80 results:

***** Test which uses port 80 *****

===== Tested by command netstat filtered on port 80 =====


Test for TCP
Your port 80 is used by a processus with PID = 6736
The processus of PID 6736 is 'httpd.exe' Session: Services
The service of PID 6736 for 'httpd.exe' is 'wampapache64'
This service is from Wampserver - It is correct

Test for TCPv6
Your port 80 is used by a processus with PID = 6736
The processus of PID 6736 is 'httpd.exe' Session: Services
The service of PID 6736 for 'httpd.exe' is 'wampapache64'
This service is from Wampserver - It is correct

===== Tested by attempting to open a socket on port 80 =====

Your port 80 is actually used by :

Server: Apache/2.4.27 (Win64) PHP/7.1.9

That is without altering anything.
