WampServer

Server Offline/Online is irrelevant. Online means wamp changes the httpd.conf to allow access from any IP address Offline means it only allows access from 127.0.0.1 i.e. localhost Offline is fine while you develop a site and keeps prying eye out of your system. This is probably an IPV4 / IPV6 issue. Wamp comes configured expecting you to use IPV4, but W7 and W8 have IPV6 available

Loso, Well i am clearly stating that it was a BAD solution. Please do not propergate it, macdjerf, Using IPV6 is fine. However if you change the Listen 80 to Listen 0.0.0.0:80 in httpd.conf you are telling Apache to ONLY LISTENING TO IPV4 addresses, so there is no point in adding the ::1 address to the Allow from command as ::1 is the default IPV6 localhost address. Allow

More information! What OS? What version of WAMP? Was it 32bit or 64bit?
Forum: WampServer English

macdjerf, Dont do all those change. You only need to do the Listen 0.0.0.0:80 change to httpd.conf This will tell apache to only listen to the IPV4 range of addresses. W8 has IPV4 and IPV6 turned on by default. I think your problem is that Apache is listening on IPV6 but you have not localhost configured for the IPV6 range. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU DO THIS: [1] LINE

It would be better to disable IIS ( if you are not using it ) and stay with port 80 for the web server. Everything expect a web server to be on port 80. If you changed Apache port to lets say 8080 you would have to add that port number to all the address's you use in the browser. So http://localhost:8080 This is the other reason for using the standard port 80, you dont need to add the :8

If tray icon is orange then either Apache or MySQL has not started. Its normally Apache, and normally because some other app has grabbed port 80. run wampmanager -> Apache -> Service -> Test port 80 this should tell you what has grabbed the port

No. Change it to :- 127.0.0.1 localhost i.e. loose the :: at the front

If you set a password on the 'root' user in mysql it is that new password that you should use when running the MySQL Console. Also if your hosts file reads ::127.0.0.1 localhost It is wrong! Is should read 127.0.0.1 localhost
Forum: WampServer English

Well you have your DocumentRoot set incorrectly in httpd.conf (last line ) but thats not the real problem You should check your HOSTS file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts make sure it has this line 127.0.0.1 localhost ======================================================= The hosts file is protected by windows, in order to save it you must have Administrator privilage

Ignore the online. If wamp manager is red then neither of the services are running. Did you upgrade W7 to W8 or install a new W8 If youdid an upgrade, try running wampmanager -> Apache -> Service -> Install Service wampmanager -> MySQL -> Service -> Install Service Most likely the upgrade has destroyed all knowledge of the services

Some of the more specialised extensions to PHP and Apache have not been converted to 64bit yet. If in any doubt it is best to go with the 32bit version.

This probably means that you do not have a correct HOSTS file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts should have a line 127.0.0.1 localhost The hosts file is protected by windows, in order to save it you must have Administrator privilages. Vista/W7/W8 you may think you are an Administrator BUT YOU ARE NOT. To successfully save the hosts file do this to launch your editor w
