WampServer

I installed WAMP server. The icon in the tray goes orange from red. I can get to the mysql console. But the icon does not turn green.
I cannot get to the phpmyadmin site too. It gives me an error
Error

MySQL said: Documentation
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Please advise..

It sounds like apache has not started, this is normally because something else is using port 80.

Do left click on wampmanager ->Apache ->Service-> Test port 80

This will load a command window and tell you what is using port 80.

You will have to stop or uninstall that app.

Actually the port 80 is used by Apache. The command window that pops up says:

You port 80 is actually used by :

Server: Apache/2.4.2 (Win64) PHP/5.4.3

Press Enter to exit


The WAMPSERVER icon does not go green.....
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong....

Thanks

Well in that case it must be MySQL that is not starting properly.

Have you tried to install MSQL before, if you have do a search for my.ini and delete all occurances except for those that exist in the C:\wamp folder or subfolders.

same here

I did have couple of my.ini files. I deleted all those except for the ones in c:/wamp directory. Still does not help....
It looks like mysql starts and runs for a little while and then stops...

Any hints PLEASE ... I am stuck cannot move on............

Check that you have not left a old version of mysql installed

Look at windows services, wamps mysql is called 'wampmysql'

uninstall the other service using

sc delete <service-name>


also check if you also have another Apache wamps is called wampapache

Thanks RiggsFolly,
It worked.

I have found that if no programs are in conflict in port 80, you just need to do the following : In the web server icon in the system tray, (which is orange by the way!), left click, go to Apache -> Service -> Install Service and Enter in the MS-Dos dialog box....That's it!! It turned green and...I think you cant wait for anything more...so try it!!

It still doesn't turn green. What are the other possible solutions?
I've already deleted all the other my.ini, I also ensured that only Apache is running on port 80.
Please help. Thanks in advance!

Hi Smiley,

Can you answer these basic questions so we know a little about what you have installed please [forum.wampserver.com]

Also What colour is your wampmanager icon?


Are you sure its Apache that is not starting?


How to tell which service is not running if the wampmanager icon is orange.

Left click the wampmanager icon to reveal the menu-> Apache -> Service
If the Start/Resume service menu is Green then Apache IS NOT running.

Left click the wampmanager icon to reveal the menu-> MySQL -> Service
If the Start/Resume service menu is Green then MySQL IS NOT running.

lishacg,

If Apache is not starting can you look at the apache error log, if that shows nothing also look at the Windows Event Viewer for messages from Apache. Apache writes its log to Event Viewer if it fails before it can open its own log file.


I see you have 2 versions of Apache installed into WAMPServer.

Apache 2.2.6 will not run with PHP 5.5.12, is this what you are trying to do?

WHY??????

Inav,

I assume you mean WHY????? does Apache 2.2.6 not run PHP5.5.12 !!!!


Well to put it simply there is no PHP imterpreter delivered in PHP5.5.12 that will run with Apache 2.2.
They only deliver this interpreter 'php5apache2_4.dll' and there is no 'php5apache2_2.dll' equivalent supplied.

In fact no PHP5.5 version will run with Apache2.2 they all require Apache2.4

Posting the same question 3 times does not make the answer any different.

If you wont read the answer and act apon it, we will just ignore any future posts on this subject.


This mesage

AH00526: Syntax error on line 1 of C:/wamp/alias/snapshot.txt: .

makes the problem ABSOLUTELY OBVIOUS


Whatever you have placed into the file C:/wamp/alias/snapshot.txt contains an error on line 1


How to prove this is the problem

If you remove that file from the c\wamp\alias folder and restart all services ... does the wamp icon turn GREEN?

If the answer is YES then there is an error in the contents of that file.


If you cannot see the error yourself post the contents of that file here and we will have a look at it
