WampServer

Hi, I changed the port for Apache to 8181 to circumvent the IIS issue. The WAMPServer homepage and phpmyadmin opens fine when using [localhost] but I can't get my project to open now. It worked previously before the port was changed. When I try and go to [localhost][myprojectname] it is removing the port number from the URL and then gives me a 404.

I've searched and searched and cannot find a fix for this issue! Hoping someone here can help me.

If you cahnge the port number that Apache is listening on, then you have to use it in the url all the time!

So

locahost:8180/myproject

If you are not using IIS then it is simpler to uninstall it or at least stop it auto starting, so you can happily use port 80 as always intended

Hi,

How did you go about changing the port?

And you tackled the consequences and not the cause!
The cause is IIS! So you have to prevent IIS from starting:
