I am new to wamp, and am having problems with apache. I have installed wamp 5 on my desktop, and it runs perfectly.
However, when I installed it on my laptop, the installation runs like a charm, but when I try to start wamp, apache does not start. The little server icon in my taskbar says that only one service is running. When I right click the wamp icon, I find that apache is not running, so I select apache, only to find that the "start service", "stop service", and "restart service" options are greyed out (I cannot select them). When I try to install apache by selecting the install service option, it tells me that there is an error.
Can anyone help me? I have searched the net for a solution to this problem with no avail. Any help with be much appreciated.
Hey Flash, do a complete uninstall. Delete the /wamp/ directory, make sure all services are gone, everything. If you search the registry for wampapache and wampmysql and delete all keys associated with wamp, then restart the system. Once it comes up, verify that the services are gone and there is no residue from the previous installs. If everything is ok...reinstall wamp. It should run without a problem at this point. I have this running on a number of systems and anytime I have had a hickup with how it works it has always been something on my machine and NOT the program.
