WAMP server localhost is not working

Question

My WAMP server localhost was broken when my Windows 7 updates automatically    My port 80 is already used by IIS server   I searched on website  many people suggested that I need to change the port 80 to port 8080 or something difference    I updated Listen 80 to Listen 8080 and ServerName localhost to ServerName localhost 8080   But it is still not working and leaves me a blank page   Can anyone help me to solve this problem

First stop IIS from startmenu by typing IIS manager, Edit c:/wamp/wampmanager.tpl file so the WAMP menu points to localhost:80. Find http://localhost and change it to htttp://localhost:80 also, if you think something else has already grabbed port 80, that is why its not working..,then, Run

wampmanager->Apache->Service->Test port 80

This will launch a command window and tell you what is using port 80. Whatever it is, will need to be re-configured to use another port or for example if its IIS and you dont use IIS it should be un-installed. Further you can use 'net stop' command to stop desired service.

The simplest solution is to disable the IIS service from the services snapin    use the start menu -  search programs and files -  services msc to launch the snapin    This will stop IIS using port 80  Then change Apache back to using port 80

If you have skype installed  close it completely   If you have sql server installed  go to   Control panel -  Administrative Tools -  Services  And stop SQL Server Reporting Services  Port 80 must be free now  Click on Wamp icon -  Restart All Services

Goto This link its working    http   www ttkalec com blog resolving-yellow-wamp-server-status-freeing-up-port-80-for-apache   Update  Using XAMP  After I   ve written this blog post I   ve figured out that XAMP  although very similar to WAMP  doesn   t force you to run Apache as a service  instead it can run it as a regular process  So I ended up using XAMP  and changed Apache port to 8080 so now everything works   WAMP Issues  If you have Window 7 or later you may have come across issues with WAMP server trying to start Apache service on port 80 and failing   There are many conflict and issues that might have come up  Before you try anything  check if you have ZoneAlarm  Nod32  or any other program firewall that might be blocking Apache server  If you   re sure that firewall isn   t the problem here is a couple of fixes that you can try   NOTE  After every fix you try  you must click on yellow WAMP icon and choose Restart All Services  Checking which process is causing the problem  Open Command Prompt window by typing cmd in Run command box or Start Search  and hit Enter  Type in the following command  netstat -o -n -a   findstr 0 0 80 The last column of each row is the process identified  process ID or PID   Identify which process or application is using the port by matching the PID against PID number in Task Manager  If you don   t see PID column in your Task Manager you need to go to Processes tab -  View Menu -  Select Columns and choose PID from the list Now  you may have identified application that reserves port 80  or you may have found out that System is using your port 80  That means that one of internal services is using your port  in which case continue reading further  Conflict with Skype  If you found out that Skype is using your port 80  you need to change some settings in Skype  On Windows  Skype reserves port 80 which is used for HTTP  Apache requires this port  So if you   re running Skype  you must go to Tools   Options  Then in the Advanced section  select Connection  Un-check the box that says    Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connection     Quit Skype and restart  The issue should be resolved   Conflict with IIS Server  IIS Server and Apache are both web server that use port 80 so they might be in conflict  Try stopping IIS by   Going into Control Panel -  Administrative Tools -  Internet Information Services Right click on Default Web Site Click on Stop option in the popup menu  and see of the listener on port 80 has cleared  Conflict with MS SQL Server  MS SQL Server installs    SQL Server Reporting Services  MSSQLSERVER     that apparently defaults to 80  You can try stopping it to free up port 80   Go to Control Panel -  Administrative Tools -  Services There find MSSQLSERVER  might be found also under SQL Server  Double click it -  Click Stop Under Startup type  choose Manual Other Services that can cause conflicts  As described above for MS SQL Server   Go to Control Panel -  Administrative Tools -  Services You can try stopping  Web Deployment Agent Service Windows Remote Management Autodesk EDM Server World Wide Web Publishing Service There are probably more of them  but this where the ones that I tryed   Try turning off HTTP driver directly  If you   ve tried everything mentioned above and your WAMP server is still not working you could try this  which eventually helped me    Right click on My Computer icon -  Properties Go to Device Manager Click on View menu and chooseShow hidden devices Now from the list choose Non-Plug and Play devices Double click HTTP -  go to Driver For Type choose Disabled Restart your computer After your computer boots up you should be able to start up WAMP server   If everything else fails  You could try changing Apache server to listen to some other port other than port 80   Click on yellow WAMP icon in your taskbar Choose Apache -  httpd conf Inside find these two lines of code   Listen 80 ServerName localhost 80 and change them to something like this  they are not one next to the other    Listen 8080 ServerName localhost 8080 Restart all services  and try typing localhost 8080 into your browser  WAMP server should now be working

Best try for windows  Open up cmd  run the following command  C  wamp64 bin apache apache2 4 17 bin httpd exe -d C  wamp64 bin apache apache2 4 17 C  wamp64 bin apache apache2 4 17 bin  Should be replaced with the path where your Apache is installed you use   because   is an escape character   If the service could not start it will return the error  For me it was the DocumentRoot was invalid
