Installation of WAMP SERVER - wampserver

I am trying to install WAMP SERVER on Windows 7 PC. After completing installation I typed localhost/phpmyadmin/ as suggested. But the error is "Site can't be reached". Also when I searched on it google says that green icon should appear on icon, but it is not so... What do I do? Should I try 2.5 version instead of latest 3.0.4 or any other suggestions?

check what port number you apache http.conf is trying to acquire.
Also do check if any other application is using that port.
Skype (usually does).
Also try Changing the listen port number to 8080
in httpd.conf
Listen 0.0.0.0:8080
and try
http://localhost:8080

Configuring SSL to work with IIS and parse server

I have an ssl certificate(Geotrust) installed to IIS 8, listening on port 443 and running on windows server 2012-r2. This works when I access https://myapp.example.com and it shows me the standard IIS page. My problem is that I am trying to connect to the parse-server(nodejs, express) running on serverUrl: http://localhost:1337/parse. So when trying to connect to https://myapp.example.com:1337/parse
chrome says: "myapp.example.com finished the connection unexpectedly" and I cant reach the expected site.
ios-simulator says: kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9806.
The connections to http works as expected on the urls described above.
I have tried to set the SSL port to 1337(and portforward 443->1337 on my router), but then I can not start the parse-server on the same port.
First time doing this, so really gratefull if anyone can point me in the right direction!
Solved by doing an reverse proxy in IIS 8.
I needed two applications in IIS and downloaded them like this: yourSite->right-click middle pane->"install application from gallery" and search & download these:
Download URL Rewrite (i downloaded 3.0)
Application Request Routing
This helped a lot:

Wamp server not working after opening port 81

i am hoping you can help.
I have just started hiring a web server from hetzner.
I loaded wamp onto the server, but as it is a windows 2012 server, it's port 80 is being used by the default loaded IIS.
So i opened up the port 81, for wamp, but it has been a struggle, when i type in my browser localhost:81 it shows me wamp server homepage, but whenever i try to enter into the phpmyadmin page, it's loaded, but i just see a white screen, i cannot enter the database management.
Does anybody know what might have caused this?
If you are using port 81 ( or any non standard port ) you have to add the port number to all your url's.
So try using
http://localhost:81/phpmyadmin
and it will work.
If you are not using IIS I would suggest disabling it and all its friend that grab port 80 so you can move wamp's Apache back to port 80.

How to do wamp server turning on?

I installed the wamp server successfully and also install the install the C++ Redistributable. I also change the port no to 80 to 80885.
I also change the settings in skype, Skype --> Tools --> Options --> Advanced --> Connection and turn off "Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections.
But still when I am starting the server it is showing on line but giving orange color, and when I am usng it on browsre it is no running.
Install visual c++ redistribution setup here on your machine x64 or x 86 according to your machine. Also make sure you have msvcr.dll in your windows/system forlder. If not then download and paste there. Then restart the wamp server. You might need to allow it through first time running.
Also use port 80 it is fine.

Wamp server can't connect to localhost

I am having a problem with wamp server (again). First the icon would not turned green so I change the port to 8080 and now it turns green. However, when I visit localhost, I just get the message in the screenshot below.
Does anyone know what's going on here? Same when I try to go to PhpMyAdmin. I have version 2.1
try http://localhost:8080
(or http://127.0.0.1:8080 if there is a problem with the resolution of localhost)
you changed the port and I am not sure if you reflect this in your request.
Do you have Skype on in the background? If so turn it of restart your web server on port 80.
Edit: Like said in another response check for anything on port 80 and turn it off.
Check your system for any program that uses the port 80, and turn it off.
This will surely work:
Check in which Drive your Windows OS is installed. If it is E, F or other then C, then install wampp in that particular drive.
If Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package is not intalled then install from : Download link
It should work.
I too faced the same issue during the installation.
This error is due to
1) if some other service is running on the same port
2) if some other application may block your application.
For checking
1.) Select the server icon. Select "www directory" and make sure it is pointing to where it should and that there are files there. --- It points to my Documents/wamp/www --- where there are an index and your test files.
2.) Select the server icon. Select Apache. Select service. Select "test port 80". See what port 80 is actually used by. --- I get "your port 80 is actually used by:......
Here you can find your port is used by which service.
If you have iis running remove that temporarily now by control panel-> uninstall program -. turn window feature on/off -> iis.
After this restart your system and run wampserver now. It will work Hope this may help
Check in your hosts file to see if there is a entry like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
if there is a # before it like this
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
delete the hash as that is a comment
you will find your host file at:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

Cannot access http://localhost:3000

I am trying to learn Ruby on Rails, I have followed the instructions from this page to get rails installed on my PC.
I am also trying to follow this webcast to try and learn the language and framework. Everything is working so far, apart from the fact that I cannot access
http://localhost:3000
http://0.0.0.0:3000
http://127.0.0.1:3000, or
http://<actual IP address>:3000
locally. If I try the from another PC on my network then it works great. I have tried in Chrome, Firefox and IE7 but none work.
Has anyone else had this problem?
EDIT: Typical!! It's started working now. I have no idea why, I am typing the exact same address in to the address bar and it now works. But only if I use http://127.0.0.1:3000, localhost doesn't work. I do run IIS ASP.NET/ASP websites on this machine, and they work fine with localhost.
EDIT 2: If I trying pinging localhost it actually says
Reply from ::1: time<1ms
0.0.0.0 yields...
PING: transmit failed, error code 1214
only 127.0.0.1 seems to work. I did have IPv6 turned on, so I've disabled that and will try again tomorrow to see if a reboot helps.
I had this issue as well with Vagrant. The secret is to run
bin/rails server -b 0.0.0.0
What 0.0.0.0 means is to listen to all interfaces, not just on localhost. The alternative is to SSH into the vagrant machine with a SOCKS proxy.
ssh -C -D 8080 vagrant#localhost
Open up your Internet explorer proxy settings and set the SOCKS v5 proxy to port 8080.
In order to access http://localhost:3000 you need to run the local Rails server in a terminal window:
$ rails server
This is described in this section of the Rails Tutorial book.
Note: I am the presenter of the screencasts in question.
Can you telnet to the port? Try:
telnet localhost 3000
That should tell you if the ports unavailable at the TCP level, or whether something's going on at the HTTP level.
Ping might not work if ICMP is disabled, which could be completely unrelated to your issue.
Also, try looking in your hosts file for any redirections:
c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
One way is to do the simple
rails s
Another (more specifically) is
rails start localhost 0.0.0.0
or
rails start 0.0.0.0
another way is
rails s 0.0.0.0
all of these works
I had an epic issue with my System Path (Environmental Variable) not being set properly.
Simple copy paste job, unplugged the 1 week stalled Ruby installation.
Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > Environment Variables > System variables > Path... Edit...
Make sure it contains these paths (among others)...
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem
I had your same identical problem. You have simply to run
$ rails server
from inside the folder of your application, not outside...so, if you have your application in
C:\Sites\myapp\blog
and blog is the folder where live your app, the command has to be prompted from here. Launching it from myapp folder won't work.
Are you possibly using a proxy but haven't listed localhost as proxy exception?
Have you tried disabling your firewall? They can cause pesky problems at times.
