I was using wamp for a year, but suddenly stopped working. I think the problem is Apache.
The icon is orange and doesn't turn to green. I have tried many ways, disabling IIS, quitting SKYPE, disabling World Wide Web publishing services etc... but still the icon is orange.Any help would be appreciated.
I am running Windows 10 64 bit and Wamp Server 2.5 .
If I ask to Test Port 80, I get the following message
Your port 80 is not actually used.
Press Enter to exit...

When i upgraded my pc to Windows 10, wamp server doesn't work anymore (All i get is the orange icon and not the green).
First, I've tested port 80, it was used by iis 10, so i changed to port 8080 in the httpd.conf and then restart all services, icon still orange.
Second, I opened windows features and disable Internet Information Service, restarted my pc, icon still orange.
1- What should I do to fix it?
2- Is it good to disable iis?
after upgrade to windows 10 iis auto start you need stop it and disable this service
open cmd and type net start W3SVC then enter for stop iis after start wamp server
for disable service open services and find some thing like "World Wide Web Services" and properties and choose disable
WampServer worked fine on my computer running Windows 8.1. I've upgraded to Windows 10, and now Wamp is not working. The WAMP icon is red. I've looked into the Internet Information Services and found that World Wide Web Services folder was unchecked. I went to services.msc and the World Wide Web Publishing Service is missing from the list. Took off skype from port80. I've tried changing the port address in httpd.conf to 8090 and 9080. I tested port80 through WAMP - Apache interface and found out that "Your port 80 is not actually used". I'm not very good at using the command prompt. I don't know how to ensure that Apache uses port 80. I'm asking if this the problem and how to fix it. Or at least how to get WAMP working again. Thanks!
If you had WAMPServer installed before you upgraded to Windows 10 then the solution is simple. The problem is that the W10 upgrade does not know about the Apache and MYSQL (wampmysqld and wampapache) services, and therefore does not re-register them.
All you have to do is this using the wampmanager menus
wampmanager -> MYSQL -> Service -> Install Service
wampmanager -> Apache -> Service -> Install Service
Its probably a good idea to the exit WAMPServer and then restart it, but not usually necessary.
I tried several ways to make it run but it didn't. Suddenly, I selected a different version of PHP from WAMP tray and it did the trick. May be it will help many out there facing this issue.
No, this is not a duplicate question!
Wamp Server doesn't start on system boot up.
When I turn it on, it is in Orange but it works just fine and Test Port 80 says that it is used by Server: Apache and PHP.
I have to Ctrl+Alt+Del < Task Manager < (2) Apache Httpd Servers
Then end both tasks.
Then Restart All Services and Wamp will be green!
My questions are
1. if it works then why is it in orange?
2. can I make it start on system start?
Note: MySQL Server is working properly at all time.
I don't have Skype installed and I don't think the problem is with the ports...
I have already tried uninstalling then re-installing but that didn't fix the problem.
EDIT:
According to the solution #RiggsFolly suggested, I can see that Apache is not starting properly; however, weirdly the web app can be run normally...
you can also change the port as well. yes you can start wamp service on system start by setting in start up program MSConfig can be used to configure several things other than just startup programs.
I recently upgrade my Windows 7 to Windows 10 (9). I need to use Apache server for web development. But for some reason I can't access it via web browser.
First I tried to look in the firewall and antivirus settings. It looks fine. I've tried reinstall xampp then I tried Wamp. Nothing working. I'tried 3 web browsers Edge, Opera, Chrome. Then I tried to find if some application is blocking port 80. So I disabled Skype, IIS. Then I tried different ports 8080,9080,123. Still can't access it via browser, but ping works.
Then I disable preference of Ipv6 and I prefer IPV4 now. I've changed HOSTS file so only 127.0.0.1 localhost is uncommented.
Only problem occurs when I try run wamp my internet access became unavailible and a have to restart computer to access internet again.
Has anyone here have same problem, because according to everything I ve done it seems apache server and network settings is correct.
Maybe problem is somewhere else?
Thank you for your help.
Solved with clean Windows 10 installation.
I have a windows 8 x64.
I installed apache 2.4 x64 and the installation was smooth and the service is up and running and also the icon is also green.
the problem is that it stops working in the middle of nowhere although the icon is still showing up green and the status saying online.
I have to refresh the localhost page over and over again to get it working again.
I added some line in c:\windows\system32\driver\etc\hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost
I also modified the C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\conf\httpd.conf file.
here is the line which I added.
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
I even removed my Skype since I heard that it conflicts with apache
when I test my http 80 port using the apache tool. sometimes it get me no result. it only shows me
Your port 80 is actually used by :
it doesn't give me the rest of the information but sometimes it shows me that my apache 2.4 is running
I removed IIS server which comes together with windows 8.
I also tried installing apache again but the problem is still there.
Any help from you guys would be much more appreciated.
Thanks.
