WampServer

I installed IIS Express to test out some .asp pages for a site I'm working. Normally, when I restart my 64 bit dell PC, I turn off the Webdeployment service and WAMP runs fine. However, despite Web Deployment being turned off, WAMP launches but sticks on the orange icon with services not running. So I uninstalled all the IIS Express components and restarted the box, still orange.

I just reinstalled WAMP 64 and still no luck.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks,

Something is using port 80.

1. Which service is not running? Its probably apache!!
look at the service menu on apache ( wampmanager -> apache -> Service
If you can click on STOP it running.
If you can slick on START its not running.

2. Do wampmanager -> apache -> Service -> Test Port 80
If apache is not running it should say "Your port 80 is not actually used"
If something else is using port 80 it may well tell you what is using it, but definitely wont say as above.
If apache is using it, it will say
"Your port 80 is actually used by :
Server: Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) PHP/5.3.5"
or something similiar!!

If it says apache is using port 80 and wamps apache still reports itself as NOT RUNNING then you have a previous apache service auto started.
You will need to UNINSTALL that other apache.

If it reports something else as using port 80 you will either have to uninstall it or configure it so it uses a port other than port 80.

You were right about Port 80. I tested Port 80 in Apache Services and found it being used by IIS 7.5.

I found an old Forum post by: defas (202.70.58.---) Date: November 10, 2009 09:41AM ... where he said he had the same issue and "changed my Apache Server from using port 80 to 8080 in http.conf , restart the server and everything is work now."

I had the same result: Wamp is green and seems to be operating fine. Wondering if running Wamp against Port 8080 would allow me to run IIS 7.5 for .asp pages on Port 80 without interferring with WAMP now looking at 8080.

Thanks for your help!
