WampServer

Are there any issues installing Wampserver on vmware systems?
I have a fresh Windows 2003 installation with all updates.

Wampserver installed with no alerts for errors but will not start.

I Saw mention of Visual C++ redistributables and have installed those but it does not appear to have made a difference.

There's nothing else installed on the server, it was born yesterday.

Much appreciated,
Rob

i have this problem tooo.
exatly i have all updates and all latest version of wamp.
but not starting

No I have run wamp on a vmware virtual machine.

But it sounds like you have IIS running, as its a server version of windows installed its quite likely it activates IIS by default.

Check it out and it you are not going to use IIS uninstall it.

Otherwise if you want both web servers running you will have to change one of them to use a different port i.e. not 80.


Run wampmanager->apache->services->test port 80 and if something else is using port 80 it should tell you.


Also mention what colour you wamp manager is red/orange/green?

Hi RiggsFolly,
Thanks for your tip.
The IIS had been removed & I've checked for its services running - also that the firewall was disabled - currently working on a development network so not needed.

I will ask for this post to be closed, I've moved to XAMPP. Still having problems so I may well return as the issue clearly sits the organic side of my keyboard.

Thanks
Rob
