I have just installed WampServer. But it's icon is always red. I restarted my pc but it is still red. What should I do about it?
I already changed httpd.conf in c:/wamp/bim/apache/apache/conf.
I changed listen 80 to listen 8080 but nothing changed.
I also closed Windows Firewall and Skype has not been started.
Try this, :-
Go to skype:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connections and uncheck the box "use
port 80 and 443 as alternative".
restart wamp,
Hope this helps..
If the Wampmanager icon stays red then both the APache and MySQL services have failed to start, so something sounds very wrong.
Have a look at the Windows Event Viewer, in the section called Microsoft -> Applications
Look for messages from MYSQL and Apache. If they fail before they can write to there error logs they log error messages in there. Thay should give you an idea about what is wrong.

i have few questions..
I am using Windows7 and I just wanted to open telnet port.
So, I did check telnet client box and open telnet port(23) on the firewall
and I did open command box and typing netstat-an but, I could't find the telnet port
What is the wrong with it??
Did I wrong to do?
help me out...
You allowed services/daemon to listen (receive TCP packages) on this port. But there is no service running, so netstat-an got nothing to show.
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

WAMP - Your port 80 is actually used - Error
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.
Already i installed Wampserver, that time it works correctly. A few days back i try to open localhost, it displays "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to localhost
Did you mean: localhost.net". I don't know the problem.
You have to start Apache server.For that,you have to right click Wamp icon.Then click start Apache.After this is done,enter localhost in the url.It displays a message 'It Works!.
Hope this resolves your problem.
You have to manually start the server first.
That is you have to start Apache sever, then enter localhost in the url
To start double click on the Xampp icon. Then manually click on the start button for apache, mysql and other features which you need like tomcat and filezilla. Dont close it but just minimize it.
Do you have skype running? If so close it so its not running at all and restart wamp.
Skype uses port 8080 which Wamp uses too. switching the ports would fix this.
Heres a previous Q/A
Can't access localhost or phpMyAdmin with WAMP
For a WAMP server, just run the application and you will see an icon in the taskbar from which you can manage certain properties. That said, so long as the server is running, localhost should be working.
You must did not run the apache server first.
You should click the icon of the wamp , then click start apache.
Hope that helps.
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
