wamp server not working on 8.1 - wamp

I just upgrade to win8.1 from win8 and I can't start wamp server (2.2 x64)
It was working fine on win8

Try checking that the Apache and MySQL services are still registered as services.
Look in Windows Services for services called - 'wampapache' and wampmysql'
Or if you have WAMPServer 64bit wampapache64 and wampmysqld64
If they dont exist do the following:-
wampmanager -> MySQL -> Service -> Install Service
wampmanager -> Apache -> Service -> Install Service
Then try to restart all services.

After Upgrading of window to window 8.1.
Please click on the wamp icon go to apache then services and then click on install services. And then go to mysql and services and click on install services and the restart your wamp. And enjoy your coding. Hurry

I've also gone through this situation. I checked the services and there "wampapche" and "wampmysqld" services are disable I've tried to start the services and the service didn't start stating a 1058 error. Then I changed the startup type from manual to automatic and now it's working.

all of your's answers are wrong, not only wampserver but also xampp is not working on windows 8.1 because apache server is not running in windows 8.1 with port 80, becouse port 80 is system reserved port.

#Ahmed that has been what described on the above posts. The simple answer is after upgrade we need to restart the services as they are stopped and yes it depends on the user whether they are going to keep it running or closed as they can choose whether to start manually or automatically.

Apparently Windows 8/8.1 are missing some essentials. The solution is to install Microsoft Essentials for Windows 8/8.1. This adds the .NET framework with all the necessary APIs that allow Wamp to function as designed. You can download Windows Essentials from herE: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/essentials . I have already tested this out on several devices, including my laptop and desktop running both Windows 8 and 8.1. Good luck! :)

Django Deployment on windows

I am learning python and Django now. I have a question related to deploying Django project on windows 7. I know how to start the test server in django and see the project. But I have to do start the server manually every time I restart the PC. Also I have to keep the terminal window open.
Consider the below scenario for php projects.
We copy and paste the php files in htdocs or www folder in apache server and access them using the respected url. Web Server is running in the background. We dont have to start the server on windows restart.
Is something similar possible with Django on apache or any other server?
If yes, how should I go about it?
Thanks in advance.

Windows server 2012 r2 core interface disable

I successfully installed windows server 2012 R2 .After setting admin password,and login,I am getting command window instead of GUI.
Can anyone please help me come out of this issue.I tried several methods but still in midst of problem.
Waiting for reply..
It seems like you did infact install Windows core version. Make a new installation and select Windows server (with GUI) from the menu. If youre not prompted this during installation, then it is most likely not the correct install media.

Doubts with Amazon workspaces and EC2

I need to rent/buy a server service in which I can run windows 7 with the following purpose: to install 4 programs. I need to work with them regularly but I cant install these programs from my PC, I have to be on the cloud server.
So my question, because the FAQ of each services do not state it clearly, if I rent workspace with windows 7 can I install any program I want? Can I do this as installation is done on a regular PC with windows 7 ??
I already tested the 4 programs I need to use on my windows 7 machine locally and they work perfectly. I only need to be sure they can work in Amazon web service as well.
Thanks in advance.
AWS Workspaces does not actually run Windows 7, it runs Windows Server 2008 R2, with a Windows 7 theme. (see "What Operating System does a WorkSpace run?")
Due to Windows client licensing restrictions it is not possible to run an MS client OS in a cloud environment.
While Windows Server 2008 R2 should run anything that Win7 can, there are a few apps that don't allow themselves to be run on a server OS.
you can install softwares on your workspace, you are admin by default. But Workspace pricing is a monthly cost, so if you need only few usage of this machine you may want to consider using a windows ec2 instance instead

Wamp server icon will not turn green

I read many similar questions about it but the solutions are not working for me.
The icon says WAMP Server online but it stays orange.
when I test port 80 under Apache/services/Test port 80 it says that port 80 is actually used by: Server: Apache/2.2.8 PHP/5.2.6
Shouldn't that be a good thing? As there are no other programs using port 80, despite that when I type local host I get a weird page instead of the normal one, it has pink bars

Easy way to build Webserver, Database Server with AppServ :-)
I really need to start working in this project but this is preventing me from even starting.
I have solution...
Click WampServer icon in tray icons -> Apache -> Service -> Install service
(same for mysql -> Service -> Install service )
Then, Apache -> Service -> Start service (same for MySql -> Service -> Start service)
done! Enjoy :-)
If you are running Skype, stop it since it uses port80 which is needed by WAMP
You can also switch the port needed for Wamp.

How to change port number for apache in WAMP
Unless you really know what you are doing you should only have ONE Apache on your system.
Basically WAMPServer and APPServ are the same thing, that is they are installers for the WAMP Stack i.e. Apache, MySQL and PHP.
You only need one of them so uninstall the other, of course remember to backup anything you may want to move over to the other before you uninstall one of them.
Check if MySQL is running or not
Click on Wamp icon in icon tray then
MySQL->Service
if Start/Resume Service is visible and clickable it means your MySQL service is not running that's why it is giving you problem.
It's possible that you have installed some other application that installed and running MySQL - so already having one MySQL running is what conflicting with wamp's MySQL.
How to stop other MySQL from running?
Simply go to My Computer and search for file name "my.ini" (without quotes)
There should be at-least two my.ini files on your computer delete all other my.ini except the one in wamp directory
Restart your computer and start the wamp server it should solve your problem
As of WampServer 2.5 (64bit), these are the things I had to do to get it to go green:
In your my.ini
Change [wampmysqld] to [wampmysqld64]. Now when you start/stop wamp you should get information in your mysql log file (and errors if you have any).
I uncommented all the innodb lines under where it says Uncomment the following if you are using InnoDB tables (except for innodb_log_arch_dir and innodb_additional_mem_pool_size).
Make sure the innodb_data_home_dir is set properly, like innodb_data_home_dir = C:/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.6.17/data/. Do the same for innodb_log_group_home_dir.
Change the locale line to read lc-messages=en_US for English.
You can confirm mysql is up and running with Wamp Icon > Mysql > Service (Start/Resume service should be greyed out)
Install and start apache:
Wamp Icon > Apache > Service > Install Service.
Wamp Icon > Apache > Service > Start. (you can click on "test port 80" to see if something was blocking it like others have mentioned, such as skype, sql reports, etc.)
During the starting of WAMP server, the Apache service should be started as well. In case, it doesn’t start; WAMP server won’t perform as it should be.
To fix this issue, navigate to the WAMP server icon in the system tray > Apache > Service administration ‘wampapache64’ > Install Service.
it will open the Command Prompt on your screen. After closing the Command Prompt, go to the same path and click on Start/Resume Service.
The WAMP server icon should turn to green right away.
In case you can have all these but still, the icon is displaying orange color, you need to click on Restart Service button.

Can you install vmware server 2 on the Windows 8 preview?

Apologies if this has been asked already, searching the web reveals lots and lots of threads about installing the Win8 beta on VMware but not the other way around.
I am trying to install VMware Server 2.0.2 on a Windows 8 Preview machine. It appears to install correctly but I cannot then reach the web based homepage to configure virtual machines, i.e.
https://localhost:8333/ui/
gives the error that the "connection attempt to localhost was rejected. The website may be down or your network may not be properly configured".
Has anyone had any success running VMware Server 2.0.2 on Windows 8 Preview? If so were there any gotchas you needed to avoid?
I don't think it will ever be resolved. VMware Server was declared End Of Availability in January 2010; There will be no support for Windows 8.
Your best try would be trying launching the services in compatibility mode, but why would you do that? Why not use the much more advanced VMware Player or VMware Workstation products?
I've found a way to run it on Windows 8.
On my PC with a x64 version of Windows 8, when I installed VMware Server 2, I found there was a service called VMware Host Agent that cannot be run. When I opened the system Service Manager and clicked to launch this service, it gave me the error.
My solution is to create a service with the same command string and set it to start automatically by using the "sc create" command in cmd.exe. And it worked for me!
