WampServer

My tray icon wont turn all white for some reason, it will only go to yellow. Can someone please help

i have my firewall and skype turned off, i went to tray icon->start all services->put online

and it only shows yellow.

Consult apache error log (if apache is in fault) and test port 80 from apache service submenu.
It should be an error which block apache start..

im guessing Apache is running fine since i didnt read anything bad in the Error Log. maybe its MySQL, i was reading the MySQL log and it said quite a few times that:
090822 2:17:20 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?

but i dont think i have another mysql server up, hopefully you can help

my full MySQL Log is:

You're right.
Mysql service can't start because another program is using port 3306.
Maybe you have another webserver installed (mysql standalone, xampp, easyphp, ...) or anything else...
Look into services window (Start -> Run -> services.msc) to see if a service named mysql or wampmysqld in started.

ok i fixed it, all i had to do was un-install XAMMP but know it still only displays a blank(white) screen when i go to localhost.

i even went Windows -> System32 ->drivers -> etc and checked my host file and it still only had "127.0.0.1 local host" in it. Can you still help

"127.0.0.1 local host". Hope it is "127.0.0.1 localhost"
To don't bother about dns or other, simply type 'http://127.0.0.1/'

Your wamp icon should be white now.
If yes, maybe another program is using port 80 use by Apache (usually skype).
If not, re-check apache error log..

I have the same problem, I have just uninstalled easyPHP because it did not run on my Vista computer, and then tried to installed Wamp however I get the same blank pages.
I checked my Services and i have both a MySQL, wampapache and wampmysqld running?
What should I do ?

Mysql service means you have a standalone version of mysql so you need to unsinstall it, or at least, deactivate this service in "Startup type" and stop this service. (from windows services panel)

Maybe DorianC solved his problem..

This is not the same...
Now Mysql is ready for connections, so Mysql service is started.

Problem is that I don't understand why your icon is yellow but your services are started !
So please uninstall your services from wamp/uninstall_services.bat, restart your computer.
Then install each one from their Service submenu (from wamp menu).
To finish, click on restart all services.

I tried what you advised me, and now the mysqld serviceis starting,however it seems that the re-intall of apache doesnot work anymore.
Apparently, theport 80 is used, however skype,msn and other application of the kind wereall disabled at the time, so I do not see what is using the port.
I have tried to test the port but all it says is: "Your port 80 is actually used by: " but no service is indicated.

Also, I still can't access the MySql console, is it because I changed the passwordinto the ini file ?

Oh and along with MySQL Service (now disabled), other services have appeared such as :
MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS and MSSQLServerADHelper, should I disabled them ?

anyone has an idea ?
