Windows 8 -- WAMP icon remaining orange

Hello! smiling smiley

I've a (fairly) fresh install of Windows 8 -- had it for maybe a week now. I've just installed WAMP today, and I'm having issues with getting it running. I've successfully installed WAMP on XP and Windows 7 previously, so... I assume it's not something I'm forgetting about the installation process, haha.

Basically the icon remains orange. When I hover over it, it tells me that the server is Online, but I can't access anything through localhost and whatnot. I ran wampmanager > Apache > Service > Test Port 80, and it tells me that port 80 isn't being used by anything. All services are started -- the only options they give me are to stop services. I'm pretty new to this stuff, so I'm at a loss as to where to go from here. Any direction would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Ah, sorry I didn't see this sooner! What I installed was the 64 Bit version with PHP 5.3 as seen on the main page. Never had a problem with the downloads provided on the front page, so.

I'd like to teamview, if you're still interested. Just let me know when is good for you; hopefully I'll see it in time. tongue sticking out smiley

I'm free right now, yeah. Time zone differences make me unsure of when you posted that, haha. But I'm here if you are!

We connected and sorted out the issue; turns out that Apache wasn't installed due to me not having the Microsoft C++ 2012 redis installed because I'm stupid, haha. Thanks a bunch, Steven! I really appreciate it!! grinning smiley
