What happens if you go to [127.0.0.1]

What color is the wamp tray icon? It must be white. If its red or yellow then there is a problem.

oh yeah i forgot to post that as well i typed that in too, and all i got is a blank(white) screen

What color is the wamp tray icon?

Make sure you don't have other services running such as Skype or IIS etc these will cause problem with WAMP.

You should check to see if you have this line in your hosts file (C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc)
127.0.0.1 localhost

If you don't you need to add it

how do i save that line in my hosts file?

i turned off skype and now instead of a blank screen the screen says "Problem Loading Page, Unable to Connect to the server at local host" what do i do now?

and the tray icon is white.

by the way i want to thank you for helping me this much

not just save that line, but delete anything in host file and have only this line
127.0.0.1 localhost

that line is already saved in there, along with another line ::1 but whenever i delete that and press the save button it say's "Cannot create C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\host file.
Make sure that the path and filenames are correct."

Im also having the same issue, the icon is orange and the icon says "server ONLINE" , but when i click on Start all services nothing happens, its laso worth mentioning i have [127.0.0.1] in the host file.

If the wampmanager icon is Orange then one of either Apache or MySQL services has not started.

How to find out which one:
left click the wamp manager icon -> Apache -> Service
( If the Start Resume Service menu item is Green then Apache has not started )

left click the wamp manager icon -> MySQL -> Service
( If the Start Resume Service menu item is Green then Apache has not started )


Now look for errors in the appropriate error log ( use the wamp manager menus to view the error logs )

If these do not exists then also check the Windows Event Viewer
Start -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer
And look in the 'Windows Logs' -> Application' section accessed from the menu on the left of the dialog.

If the problem is not obvious then post the errors here

Thanks very much I can confirm it is now working. Im not sure if you able to help but im sitting up a php environment in dreamweaver cs5. I now have Wamp working but when i open the site in firefox i get another error:

Warning: require_once(C:\wamp\www\public_html/libraries/import.php) [<a href='function.require-once'>function.require-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\public_html\administrator\includes\framework.php on line 32

any ideals

Apart from the obvious, C:\wamp\www\public_html/libraries/import.php does not exist! No.

The script that is having the problems is C:\wamp\www\public_html\administrator\includes\framework.php

Sorry not a DreamWeaver user.

Hi there everyone,

I have been having similar problems to the ones mentioned above. I am running Win8 64bit and Firefox.

I continually end up with a blank screen when I press local host and/or phpMyadmin. Both MySQL and Apache seem to be running and the wamp server icon is green. I have tried updating the host file in etc folder with the additional code and that has not done anything either.

As much as I like getting angry and annoyed.. I *love* when people can help out

I also had to change the httpd file for apache so that it was listen 8000 as the MS IIS file was using port 80. It was updating the update to port 8000 that allowed me to finally get connected but I still can't get past this blank page.

Any assistance is really appreciated!

Well that will be because the menu items expect apache to be running on port 80.

Because you have moved apache to port 8000 you must manually keying

[localhost]
and
[localhost]

Thats why its recommended not to change apache's litening port from 80 ( the default for all web server used by browsers )

If you are not using IIS uninstall it and move apache back to port 80

Hi RiggsFolly

Thanks for your assistance.

I think I have disabled Microsoft IIS 8.0 by doing this -

From a "elevated" command prompt ( run as administrator) run the following command:

rem stop IIS sc stop W3SVC REM change the service startup to disabled! sc config W3SVC start= disabled

::END


I have changed the listen and server name ports back to 80 in the httpd.conf file. Apache service will no longer start up again. It appears that another Microsoft process has taken Port 80 - Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0

I have since followed the instructions here

[www.ferolen.com]

It is now working. Turning off web deployment agent service did the trick.

Thank you so much for your input and nudging me in the right direction. I am going to celebrate by having a delicious coffee
