Hosts files too long

My WAMP icon remains stubbornly red. When I go into systems tray (windows 10, 64 bit)) I get the message that all applications are running, but there is an error message:
"The C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file has 15616 lines" i.e. too long.

Hello,

The hosts file is not intended to filter unwanted urls, but it is not the fact of having many lines in this file that makes the Wampmanager icon not green.

There is another problem on your system.

- 1 - Please READ (and answer) BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION

- 2 - To determine where your problem may come from, use the tools integrated into Wampserver by Right-click -> Tools. For example:
- Check the status of services
- Test port 80

Thank you for drawing my attention to tools. I am totally green ....
The problem appears to be with Port 3308. I have tried Ports 3307 and 3308; and also inverted with 3306 to no avail. The message I receive on testing is

***** Test which uses port 3308 *****

===== Tested by command netstat filtered on port 3308 =====


Test for TCP
Your port 3308 is used by a processus with PID = 14508
The processus of PID 14508 is 'mysqld.exe' Session: Services
The service of PID 14508 for 'mysqld.exe' is 'N/A'
N/A means that there are no service related to PID 14508
Processus 'mysqld.exe' is launched by service 'wampmysqld64' with PID 15868

Test for TCPv6

I would appreciate further advice!

Hi,

Next time, I'll be much more directive.

- 1 - You have not answered any of the thirteen questions asked in the above link.

- 2 - You had previously written: "My WAMP icon remains stubbornly red. "which means that at least one service is not started. That's why I referred you to the right tools, but you chose to use others that do not contribute to solving the problem.

So, in addition to answering - 1 -, please use the appropriate tools:

- Check state of services

- Test port 80

and give us the results.

I think that I now understand you!!??

I have gone through the tools and think that I have made the appropriate changes and have pasted the configuration report below. I haven't yet downloaded WordPress .... Does everything appear in order to you? Many thanks.

Hi,

I have asked you twice to carry out certain operations, but you have not done so and have not answered the questions asked and done anything other than what was asked of you.

Nevertheless, from your answers, it appears:
All three services are started, so the Wampmanager icon cannot be red.

>I think that I have made the appropriate changes
Did I ask you to change something?
- Why did you add listen port 8081?
- Why did you change the version of PHP CLI?

The hosts file must contain ONLY the following two lines:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
at least before the addition of a VirtualHost required to install a CMS like WordPress.

Everything seems to work fine, except for the hosts file.
In the end, I wonder what your problem is.

Hi

Thank you very much for your waspish tolerance of my inability to understand and follow your instructions.
The icon is indeed now green!
I find that the last two lines of C:\windows\.........\etc\hosts ARE (after spybot entries.......):

127.0.0.1 local host
::1 local host

Do you really mean that there should be two lines ONLY in this file?


Thank you

Hi,

> 127.0.0.1 local host
> ::1 local host

Without space in the names !
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

> Do you really mean that there should be two lines ONLY in this file?

Spybot has put more than five thousand lines in the hosts file. All this to block so-called dangerous sites. You have no idea what the blocked sites are and, among this list there are sites that have no reason to be blocked and for which you will ask yourself the question "Why I can't go to this site".

The purpose of the hosts file is not to filter so-called unwanted urls, to do this use your browser settings or install extensions to block ads and other unwanted content.

Spybot is what I call, in French, a "inutilitaire", i. e. a useless utility that, like all the supposed "Windows Cleaners" or "Windows Accelerators" do much more harm and damage than the good they are supposed to do.
The best anti-all is the interface between the chair and the keyboard.

Yes, you can leave these lines... but the two localhost lines must be at the beginning.

I would uninstall SpyBot purely and simply and totally.
