WampServer

Hi

I just installed wampserver and I can't get it to run. The icon in the system tray stays orange. I see multiple posts in here referring to the wampmanager, but the only program I see under the wamp installation is to stert the wampserver, how do I access the wamp manager?

Thanks

Additional info:

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
wampserver 2.2a 64

You should have an icon in your system tray.

It will be green or orange or red and look like a W in a surounding box.


Green = apache and mysql running OK

Orange = only one of apache/mysql running ( its probably apache that has not started )

Red = apache and mysql NOT RUNNING

Yep, the icon is there an d orange, how do I check which service isn't running? I can acces mysql via mysql workbench, but how can I check if apache is started (and if it isn't, where do I start it?)

If its orange and mysql is started then it must be apache that has failed to start.

Check by clicking wamp manager -> apache -> services
If 'Stop service' menu item is GREY'd out its running, if its red then its not running.


If its not running try looking in control panel -> Administrative tools -> event viewer

select 'Windows logs' -> Applications and look for anything to do with 'Apache Service' in the 'Source' column.
or check anything showing a red ! icon

If that shows nothing check the wampmanager-> Apache -> Apache error log

Hmm, the window logs show it has a problem binding to socket 80, but how do I find wha is bound t socket 80 and preventing it from opening?

A second question: Where do I click on wamp manager? The only icon just starts the service and no admin panel or anything else

The log errors beign reported are:
The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> (OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. : make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> no listening sockets available, shutting down .

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> Unable to open logs .

The wampapache service terminated with service-specific error Incorrect function..

Q2: Put your cursor over the W icon in system tray, left click will open up a menu.


Q1: wampmanager->apache->service->test port 80 ... what does this say.


Obvoius candidates for grabbing port 80 are
1. SKYPE. Change config : tools -> options -> advanced -> connection ... uncheck the 'Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives ....'

2. IIS .. disable it

Actually that problem may be that you have not started wamp using admin privilages
