WampServer

when i test port 80 from icontray > apache > services > test port 80

error comes "your port 80 not actually used"

how to fix this also apachee services are not working stoped

IIS and Apache/Wamp are both web server and might conflict in some way, so you have to disable IIS in order for Wamp to work

Disable IIS in Vista:

Control Panel, Uninstall Programs, Turn Widows Features On or Off, uncheck Internet Information Services

Disable IIS in XP:

Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, uncheck Internet Information Services (IIS)

Restart computer, then restart Wamp

Also, open file hosts in folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc and make sure you have only this line and nothing else

127.0.0.1 localhost

Hi,
I'm having the same message. I've just had a look at the 'Turn Windows features on/off' window and IIS is unchecked. hosts file only contains 127.0.0.1 localhost. Is there anything else that could be causing this problem?
thanks

Make sure no other program conflict Wamp such as IIS, Microsoft Web Deploy, SQL, Skype, Zonealarm, firewall/antivirus, NOD32, Eset, any web related program including Remote Desktop, Teamviewer ...

Step 1:

If you are getting the "your port 80 not actually used" in Windows 8


when you test port 80 from wamp icontray > apache > services > test port 80

open httpd.conf from wamp icontray > apache >httpd.conf and locate the line

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

Make sure the line Listen 80 is uncommented and is as it is above and if you had changed to Listen 0:0:0:0:80 change it back to

Listen 80


Step 2:

Got to the hosts file C:/windows/system32/Drivers/etc and make sure it only contains 127.0.0.1 localhost and not ::1 ie make sure its shows #::1 if the ::1 is present

#::1
127.0.0.1 localhost

If you get an error "403 Access forbidden" when you try to access phpmyadmin go to step 3

Step 3: (Step courtesy Peter mortensen comment posted in stackoverflow.com link stackoverflow.com/questions/8366976/wamp-error-forbidden-you-dont-have-permission-to-access-phpmyadmin-on-this-s)


Change the content of c:/wamp/apps/alias/phpmyadmin.conf to the following


<directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

NB: The phpmyadmin remains the version you have installed mine was c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/

The main thing here is to remove Deny from All and Allow from 127.0.0.1

Then restart Apache server after this and you are good to go.
