WampServer

I just downloaded and installed WAMP version 1.7.2.
When I run the program, the MySQL starts well, but not the Apache.
Everytime I try to start Apache is just tried to start it and then stop without giving any error messages. I've tried install service and it says 'Your port 80 is available, install will proceed' and 'Press enter to continue' when i press enter the command window shuts. Then I tried installing the services using install_services.bat it says Apache is already installed. Then I tried to run Apache Service Monitor, and try to start Apache from there, it says 'the requested operation has failed' error. And i tried to start it (wampapache) from services.msc it says 'the wampapache service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example the Performance Logs and Alert Services'.

I really don't know whats wrong. can anyone help?
Thank you.

Regards,

My Error log shows

I think the problem is in the:
[Wed Jun 06 11:29:51 2007] [crit] (OS 1450)Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service. : Child 2136: _beginthreadex failed. Unable to create all worker threads. Created 189 of the 250 threads requested with the ThreadsPerChild configuration directive.

but i don't know how to work it out.

Thanks.

look at :
[apache.belnet.be]

I suggest : [httpd.apache.org]

enable following line = > # Win32DisableAcceptEx in the httpd.conf.
In this case correct is: Win32DisableAcceptEx

Problems Installing or Running Apache 2
If you encounter problems running Apache 2 under Windows, such as corrupted or incomplete file downloads, unexplained error messages, or a conflict with a software firewall, please place the following three directives in your httpd.conf configuration file to see if they eliminate the problems:

EnableSendfile Off
EnableMMAP Off
Win32DisableAcceptEx

The general problem is that many people install various add-ons to windows (such as software firewalls, virus checkers, etc) that break some of the advanced functionality that Apache uses to speed the sending of files. The above directives turn off the advanced functionality and make Apache fall back to more basic (but slower) techniques. This resolves most, but not all of the potential problems. If you continue to experience problems, be certain that there is no spyware installed on the box, which exhibits exactly the same sorts of flaws (often more obviously).

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't fix up my problem.
I wonder what

"[Wed Jun 06 22:53:55 2007] [crit] (OS 1450)Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service. : Child 3420: _beginthreadex failed. Unable to create all worker threads. Created 161 of the 250 threads requested with the ThreadsPerChild configuration directive."

means in the error line. Because i figure that it's the point where the error starting to occur and shut the apache down. Does anyone understand?

Thanks

do a port check and make sure nothing else is using port 80, like another webserver ot skype.

I finally get my thing to start by changing the
ThreadsPerChild value from 250 to 150.
I'm not really sure what effect it gonna bring to the running of the server.
Now I've succeeded getting online with the server, i tried to open my localhost from firefox,
but it takes so long (still waiting right now), and it consumes like 99% of my CPU time. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply,

I finally succeeded running the apache by changing the ThreadPerChild value to 150, because my system can't handle more than that (don't know why).
After i finally got it online, I tried to open localhost via the menu and the firefox just connecting to localhost and do this kind of never ending load that consume a lot of CPU time. So I tried to enter my IP address (network ip address not internet ip address) to the address bar and I got a look of the localhost, but just for that once, now everytime i try to do that again, the page just show a blank page. I wonder why. Can anybody help?

Thanks.

Yep, I had same issue of winampcache not starting. Turned out it was due to I presume Skype binding to port 80. HTH
