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.
