Apache won t start in wamp

Question

I have been googling for the past few hours but I simply can t get my apache on wamp to start  My skype isn t running  and the test port 80 shows it isn t being used by anything  Before this happened  I was trying to add a new vhost  but now I have reverted back all of the files where I made changes  Anyway to debug why apache won t start   Clicking on start resume service for apache doesn t show any errors either   Also just in case   I am running Win7 64bit

If you have an issue in the httpd conf or any files included by it there are a couple of ways to find out what the problem is  First look at your Windows Event Viewer  Click on the Windows link in the  menu on the left  and then submenu Applications  Look for messages from Apache with the red error icon   Secondly  open a command window  then CD into  wamp bin apache apache2 x y bin  replace x y with your actual version  Now you can run this command to get Apache httpd  to vaidate the httpd conf file   httpd exe -t   This should give errors with line numbers related to the http conf file  It stops on the first error  so you will have to keep running it and fixing the error and then run it again until it gives the all OK message

Invalid Command  80HostnameLookups    perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration I got this error when I debug the issue  wamp server was not going online  by the procedure defined by  RiggsFolly  Just comment the line 80HostnameLookups Off by changing it to  80HostnameLookups Off  This solution worked for me and apache starts running Note 80HostnameLookups Off can be found on line 222 of httpd conf file located in C  wamp bin apache apache2 4 9 conf

If Apache is installed as a Windows service  any errors will show up in the Windows System event log   To view the System event log  navigate to Windows Administrative Tools- Event Viewer and open the System log in the Windows Logs folder   Or  you can see the same errors by running httpd exe at the command line  In my case  httpd exe is located here  C  Bitnami wampstack-5 6 26-2 apache2 bin    If there is a problem with starting Apache  most likely the problem can be fixed by editing the httpd conf file located in the  apache2 conf folder  As already suggested  you can check the syntax of the httpd conf file by running httpd exe -t at the command line     I found that the I had to      Change SetEnv PATH  C  Bitnami wampstack-5 6 26-2 apache2 bin   PATH   in httpd conf   to     SetEnv PATH  C  Bitnami wampstack-5 6 26-2 apache2 bin  PATH
