WampServer

So I installed the software, loaded it up, clicked on localhost to do the initial setups and I get a 404.
On closer inspection, the server hadn't started, the system tray icon has like a red yellow and green type thing and when I stop the server, it goes red, when I restart it, it gets stuck on the yellow, it gives no error messages and my firewall doesn't say that the software is trying to do anything.
How can it not work when all I've done is install it with all the default settings ?? What have I done wrong ?

post up ur apaceh and mysql logs

found at c:wamp/logs

I've actually managed to sort this one, for some reason skype was causing the problem, don't ask me, google told me

it runs on port 80 too, if u wanna use both switch apache to port 8080..


open up c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache/conf/httpd.conf


change

Listen 80

to

Listen 8080


and

Servername localhost:80

to

Servername localhost:8080


then restart wamp

Actually, it's not convenient to change port for Apache, and it's better to change port for skype

Setup skype using different port as follows File -> Options -> Connection -> Uncheck "Use port 80 as an alternative for..."

Tahir,

You have another version of apache and possibly mysql installed. Remove them !!!!
