Hi RiggsFolly -thank you so much for responding and sorry for the delay in replying!
I did as you suggested and it is now running. I ran the Test Port 80 and it returned the following message:
Your port 80 is actually used by: Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0
I looked up this server and found the following under "problems with Apache and port 80:"
"Stop Web Deployment Agent Service (MsDepSvc) from Administrative Tools > Services area. You can disable the service, to have port 80 ready when you boot your system.
The following article will explain about this service, you can follow the link below to read more.
Microsoft Web Deploy:
[
weblogs.asp.net];
(I'm not certain what app this was installed with so not certain what this will affect down the road, but WAMP is running and that's what I need now. Now to get WAMP SQL to like the database I created with Heidi MySQL interface, but that's another problem.)
Thanks again!
