WampServer

I installed WAMP on my home computer, just as I did today at work, but when I hover over the WAMP tray icon it says "1 of 2 services running - Server Offline." When I scroll up to the APACHE section it doesn't allow me to select "start."

Can someone help?

Thanks

After installing WAMP I found only one service working, when I Checked which service was not running, I found it was the Apache server. On the Apache link I pressed test port 80, and found my IIS 5.0 was using it even after I disconnected using the Internet Information Services icon.


Solution

1- I Uninstalled WAMP
2- I stopped IIS 5.0 by Click on Start, followed by Run, and type "CMD". Press OK, then I entered iisreset /stop in the Command Prompt window and press enter.
3- I installed WAMP
4- Pressed start all services

Since I work with ASP I’m going to have to stop the IIS server by using step 2 every time



You only need one server at a time to work. Stop IIS when you need to work with PHP or stop WAMPS when you wish to work with ASP remember to start the respective server that you wish to work with.

Starting IIS Server

go to the Control Panel - click on the Administrative Tools icon - then click Internet Information Services - expand the local computer tree - right click on Default Web Site then - click Start to run IIS server.

Stopping IIS Server

go to the Control Panel - click on the Administrative Tools icon - then click Internet Information Services - expand the local computer tree - right click on Default Web Site then - click Stop IIS server.
