WampServer

I have:
Windows 10
Wampserver 3.2.3
Php 7.4.26
Apache 2.4.46
mysql 5.7.31
Wampserver icon is green
No maria

"All VC++ packages needed to Wampserver are installed correctly."

I'm afraid I'm back again.
This time, I have tried to add a new Virtual Host.
I right-clicked on the green icon, selected Tools, then Add a Virtual Host.
In the box, I entered 8086 and clicked Enter. The command prompt window opened and closed several times.
I restarted/reopened the Localhost page and ran Add a Virtual Host from that page. The ports available are still only 8084 and 8085.
I have not found appropriate help at the Wampserver forum. Would you please advise how I correctly declare a specific port for a virtual host?

With my thanks in advance
TC

Left-Click -> Apache -> Version -> 2.4.54

###This throws up a box with###
SWITCH APACHE VERSIONS - FROM CURRENT APACHE 2.4.46 TO APACHE 2.4.54
There are differences between Apache 2.4.54 and Apache 2.4.46

If the only difference between the httpd-vhosts.conf files
is the port number 80 versus 8083
the default Apache listening port will be automatically updated
by this Apache version change procedure.

Copy your httpd-vhosts.conf from 2.4.46 to 2.4.54 and listen ports when you are asked to.

###Ah, listen ports are in httpd.conf.###
###Restarted Wampserver again, and the icon is orange with no error message.
Exited Wampserver completely, then restarted, icon green, then orange.###

Warning

There may be a syntax error in Apache conf files.
To be checked by the tool integrated in Wampserver:
Right-click -> Tools -> Check httpd.conf syntax.

###httpd.conf Line 76 is Listen 0.0.0.0:${MYPORT8083}

Please would you advise? Thanks.###

Hi,

What are ALL lines in httpd.conf beginning with Listent ?

Hello

73 #Listen 12.34.56.78:80
74 Listen 0.0.0.0:8083
75 Listen [::0]:8083
76 Listen 0.0.0.0:${MYPORT8083}
77 Listen [::0]:${MYPORT8083}
78 Listen 0.0.0.0:${MYPORT8084}
79 Listen [::0]:${MYPORT8084}
80 Listen 0.0.0.0:${MYPORT8085}
81 Listen [::0]:${MYPORT8085}

Thanks for your attention and help.

Hi,

Replace:
74 Listen 0.0.0.0:8083
75 Listen [::0]:8083
by
74 Listen 0.0.0.0:80
75 Listen [::0]:80
then restart Wampserver

And, to avoid mistakes later, could you put the three lines here from wampmanager.conf file
[apacheoptions]
apacheUseOtherPort = xxx
apachePortUsed = xxx

Hello

Oh, what a silly and simple mistake.
Mea culpa.
And yes, everything is working and healthy.
Thank you ^_^

Regarding putting those lines into wampmanager.conf, there is already
[apacheoptions]
apacheUseOtherPort = "on"
apachePortUsed = "8083"
apacheCompareVersion= "off"
apacheRestoreFiles= "off"
apacheGracefulRestart= "on"
apachePhpCurlDll= "off"

Do I replace lines
apacheUseOtherPort = "on"
apachePortUsed = "8083"
or do I put
apacheUseOtherPort = xxx
apachePortUsed = xxx
say, before what is already there?

Hope you're not too hot, and thank you for your help.

Hi,

I am very doubtful and surprised that you have this configuration:

[apacheoptions]
apacheUseOtherPort = "on"
apachePortUsed = "8083"

This is an option used when Apache can't use port 80 at all and this is not the case because with the last modification you just made to replace the Listen ...:8083 by Listen ....:80 Wampserver works perfectly.
I can only advise you to put back the original configuration:

[apacheoptions]
apacheUseOtherPort = "off"
apachePortUsed = "80"

To do Wampserver stopped.
