WampServer

hi please help me to fix wampserver is still in orange color. i already enabled/disabled IIS but still the same

i dont really have an idea on it please help me

tnx

Some information first please.

Windows version?

Wamp Server version 32 or 64bit?

From the wampserver icon in the system tray click wampmanager -> Apache -> Service -> Test port 80
and tell us what is says.

Have you tried to install Apache some other way than using WAMP, if so have you properly uninstalled it?

is say:
Your port 80 is actually used by:

server: microsoft-IIS/7.5

i have'nt try apache


my computer is

windows 7

64bit operating system.

You will have to uninstall IIS.

Apache (which is what wamp installs) and IIS are both web servers and therefore both use TCP port 80.

IIS will always capture port 80 first and only one process can use it, so IIS is blocking Apache's use of port 80.

This may help:

i already follow on how to remove IIS but it still appearing on my localhost.
already check to administrative tool ang IIS is not already there.

changes to my APACHE-service-test port80

it says :
your port 80 is not actually used



still wampserver does not change its color.


help me please tnx

Try refreshing your browser ( Ctrl + F5 )


Have you looked for errors in the
wamp manager -> APache -> apache error log
wamp manager -> APache -> apache access log

Also look at your windows event viewer and see if Apache is reporting any errors in there that may give us a clue?

thers no error, but the msvcr100.dll error had occur and follow the instruction of moderator and install the VC10 SP1 vcredist_x64.exe,

where do i can find the VC++ 2008 which i also need to install.?

do a google search it is frely available from Microsoft

Hi,


Please understand that 1. You do not need to remove or disable your IIS for Apache to use PORT 80, However you needed to stop certain under program or a particular program that hold on to PORT 80..for instance WAMPSERVER was showing me ORANGE at the initial stage after installing it, i notice it was not on,so i switched it on ,but it was still ORANGE color and my codes were just showing Blank Page.

To solve this problem : Click by testing PORT80 @SERVICE@ APACHE , I mean click on WAMPSERVER ,click APACHE,click SERVICES ,Click Test PORT 80

WHAT PROGRAM you see there on the does promt is the program on your system using PORT 80..JUST GO STRAIGHT and have that program disabled just the way i clicked Quit on SKYPE and my WAMPSERVER came alive, turns green and my code runs successfully . CONGRATULATIONS !

you must stop/disable IIS if its using port 80

Also, why have IIS installed if you have no intention or ability to use it !!!

If you leave it installed, it just give your PC another attack surface for someone to try an use to gain access to your system.

I had this problem.
Random google and noticed a couple of hits that mentioned skype.
I recalled that my problems started after I had installed and started to use skype.
I closed skype and Wamp then was able to be started.

I believe that others say that once WAMP is running then you can start skype but if you let skype start first then WAMP will not sart. I have not tested this theory extensivly.

It is better to re-configure SKYPE so it does not ever try to use port 80.


From a running skype do the following:

1. Skype -> tools -> options
2 select the Advanced Tab from the left hand menu
3. click the 'Connections' sub menu
4. Untick the checkbox labeled 'Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections'
5. Press the SAVE button.
