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.
I have recently installed VertrigoServ, with the Apache HTTP Server, expecting to work perfectly like other installations. Unfortunately, this time it has not. Apache says the port 80 is already in use; I have tried all the methods suggested in other forums, but there seems to be no service, program or process using port 80.
Any ideas?
yes skype do clash with vertrigo just exit skype in tray icon and restart vertrigo you will be good to go.
Vertrigo / Settings / Program Settings / Unckeck "Run servers as services", then restart your PC and start vertrigo again
In my case case icon was yellow in Vertrigo because of running
Web Deployment Agent Service
which came probably with Microsoft WebMatrix, it is also run and probably installed by Microsoft Visual Community for example.
Changing Start type of this Service from Automatic to Manual is good solution ? Here:
http://www.sitepoint.com/unblock-port-80-on-windows-run-apache/
is such advice. Today it was turned off using simply Task Manager, but maybe this too brutal way.
The Run servers as services in Vertrigo is unchecked, but Web Deployment Agent Service was blocking Vertrigo.
Microsoft Matrix can run php too.
Try to change the port that Vertrigo uses to run php pages. It worked for me, I did like this (changed to 8080):

I'm trying to experiment with xampp. After having some space issues, I wanted to move my xampp install onto another drive (d:). However I have the apache 2.2 services in XP services which are still pointing to my original c: install. I only see how to start and stop. I'm hoping just removing the service will fix my issues.
So the question is two-part 1) how do i remove the service 2) based on this info can i simply reinstall afterwards to get the services running?
thanks
In a command prompt execute:
sc delete service
Where service be Apache and mysql.
Then go into your xampp control panel and check the little svc boxes. That will make them services again.
Be sure to run the "setup_xampp.bat" script in the root of your xampp server! You must do this each time your servers change directory (this feature is useful if you put your servers on a USB drive).
Good luck :)
