I have a newly installed wamp server. Actually i reinstalled it because
i was having problem with it previously. It was not starting anymore (offline, icon stays yellow). I reinstalled it hoping it would go back to normal. i have two servers running
on the server pc (sql server and wamp server).
sql server is listening in port 80 and wamp server is listening at port 8000. This was working fine before i tried to add a new extension to the php server (php_mssql.dll).
now, on my newly installed wamp, im still having the same problem, the icon on the system tray
remains yellow. It does not go online. what seems to be the problem here?
Make sure that port 8080 is empty .if you have installed skype any other software ,antivirus then first uninstall them and restart wamp server the wamp server it will turn in green
cause to wamp server stays yellow: port 8080 is not empty

When I start the wamp server it indicates only orange color. I tried to fix that problem but I could not to fix that. The one thing I did is below,
Apache->service->install service
cmd shows this ,
your port 80 actually used by : server : microsoft -IIS/7.5 cannot
install the apache service , please stop this application and try
again. press enter to exit
So Uninstall wamp server and reinstall..
In the process of installing choose the different portnumber rather than 8080,
hope it will work
IIS server used same port as wamp server.
Two solutions have found.
assign a new port to use to wamp.
stop running IIS server
I installed WAMP server and ran the applpication. The icon in the taskbar stays orange and says "local server - 1 of 2 services running" . Also, I am able to see the phpMyAdmin page in the browser but when I try to login it gives the following error:
#2002 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. <br />The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).
I have tested port 80 and I got this response:
***** Test which uses port 80 *****
===== Tested by command netstat filtered on port 80 =====
Test for TCP
Your port 80 is used by a processus with PID = 6612

This service is from Wampserver - It is correct

Your port 80 is actually used by :
Server: Apache/2.4.18 (Win64) PHP/5.6.19
I believe that the above result means that there is no problem with the port. I even tried changing the port and still gives the same status - orange icon.
Note - When a prompt from Windows Firewall was shown after installing WAMP, I didn't give access to both private and public networks, i.e. I unchecked both the options.
Kindly help me to run both the services in the local server.
Thank you!
Click on the WAMP icon in the tray and go to Apache > service Administration and check if the service is installed or if it isn't running . You can even reinstall it by removing and installing it again. Do the same with MySQL . Go to MySQL > Service Administration and do the same things . In my case Apache service wasn't installed and Installing it did the trick. check the image below.
See this image
Most of the answers given on the Internet say to change the port used by Apache but that is not the solution in most of the cases.
Actually, start the WAMP server->right click on the icon -> tools -> use a port other than 3306 -> click on this -> set on 3308.
Hopefully, this will resolve the error.
I had the same problem but only Skype was using port 80. I just changed port 80 from Skype and make it use another one. OR you can change port 80 used by Apache. To do this go to WAMP -> Apache -> http.conf and change Listen 80 with Listen 81 for eg.
The same with me but in my case I installed mysql after installing wampserver so there was a port conflict between the integrated version and the independent version of mysql for the port 3306, so the problem could resolved either by changing one of ports
If you want to change wampserver's mysql's port go to the taskbar icon right click and the go to tools select: use a port rather than xxxx(3306 in my case)

How to change port number for apache in WAMP
Thread Details below
Just go to httpd.conf file, for ex. under WAMP environment its situated at:
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\conf\httpd.conf
go to line no. 46 and edit Listen 80 to your requirement for ex.
Listen 8383
newer versions of WAMP uses these 2 lines:
Listen 0.0.0.0:8383
Listen [::0]:8383
Next go to line no. 171 and edit ServerName localhost:80 to your requirement for ex.
ServerName localhost:8383
Restart Apache and its done !!
Now, you can access with your URL:
http://localhost:8383 or http://192.168.1.1:8383
Hope it helps to people looking for solution here.
No need to remove and reinstall WAMP or edit Host file or change any port. this problem happens when Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager service is running. you need just stop IIS to run wampapache service without any problem.
press start then type iis and run Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and in right panel press stop. then click on wamp icon on system tray and choose start all services.
this is all you need.
I had the same issue some time back. Tried all kinds of things and finally found the link below. Basically the issue was:
A parameter in your 'my.ini' file (C:\Wamp\bin\mysql\mysql<version>) called 'lower_case_table_names'
If there, comment it out and restart MYSQL again."
If I recall, also did a computer restart also just for good measures.

This might be because php is not working because the default port 80 is taken so u need to change the port follow these steps
1. Click the wamp icon from the bottom right corner
2. Go to Apache->httpd.conf and open this file
3. Search for word Listen in the file and change these two lines
Listen 0.0.0.0:8018 (u can use any digits instead of 18 )
Listen [::0]:8018
4. Now search for the word localhost and change this line
ServerName localhost:8018
5. Restart wamp
6. Go to your default browser and type http://localhost:8080/ this will open the wamp menu
It's either your WAMP Apache port is clashing with IIS (if that is installed and running), or MySQL port is clashing with another MySQL install.
Edit your WAMP > Apache > httpd.conf by hovering cursor over Apache inside WAMP tray icon. Change port 80 to an available port like 8181. Restart all services.
I had the same issue, where only 1 service out of 2 was running. But my issue was not a port issue.
I had previously zipped up a bunch of .conf files in the alias directory to share them with a colleague, and I left the .zip file there. This caused an error in Apache as it tried to use the .zip file as an alias.
Once I removed the .zip file from the alias directory, my Apache services were working fine.
Bit of an 'outside the box' answer, but this was my issue with the same symptoms!
Maybe it is not a port problem.
if you had a problem because msvcr110.dll is missing
so after you setup the library you will get this problem service 1 of 2
so in this case you have to reinstall the wamp server.
I had faced similar similar issue where the server was not starting up with the following message - "local server - 1 of 2 services running" , with server icon in Orange color.
With nothing updated in the error logs. Finally was able to track issue through -
Wamp server icon -> Apache -> Service Administration 'wampapache64' -> install service
Error message : WAMP - 'Your port 80 is actually used - Error'
Resolution : Change the port number of the wamp server to some other number,for example 5050.
Go to: C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\httpd.conf
In that file change the listen port to 5050.
#Listen 12.34.56.78:5050
Listen 0.0.0.0:5050
Listen [::0]:5050
Save and Restart. Now you can see the server started successfully with green icon.

How to change port number for apache in WAMP
WAMP - Your port 80 is actually used - Error
GO to run type Services and enter
check these two services must start
I'm trying to download wordpress and so I downloaded WAMP, It's the WAMP SERVER (32 bit PHP 5.5) 2.5
I've seen a lot of help with this but my issue is, when I test port 80 it says it's not being used. I deleted skype because before it was using that. I have windows 10 and have no clue how to connect the ports. I also tried changing Listen to 8080 instead of 80 in the httpd.conf file but nothing changed so I put it back as 80. If anyone could tell me what's wrong I'd love to try it.
I am installing wamp server 64 bit on my windows 8 system.I get following error "Application was unable to start correctly ( 0*c00007b)"
1) I have not installed the Skype
2) Port 80 is not being used by any program.
3) IIS service is not running on my system
4) I have tried re installing the wamp also
See screenshots
Following is there in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
How to fix this.
Even though I start wamp server the icon never turn to green.
Do I need VC++ Redistributable?
Solution
I followed shiva's answer and installed 32 bit version.
Hope some one will post correct solution for this issue.
you can install TCPView to find out that which service is using the post number 80, and close it and then run Apache(if something is using it).
alternately you can edit the httpd.conf file and change the port number ,by default it can be found at this location
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\conf\httpd.conf
In it go to the line which has this entry(line 58 in WAMP server 2.4's installation)
Listen 80
and change it to something like this Listen 8080, and restart WAMP(or specifically Apache).
Now you will be able to access localhost like this
http://localhost:8080
Update 1
According to this forum post, installing 32-bit version in place of 64 bit version,solved the issue in some cases
MY WAMP server has broken down.
http://localhost
shows a blank page.
any help please?
I had to use system recover at the end and the problem was at the skype, i tried to uncheck the "use port 80" box under skypes options but the only way to do it properly is to recover ur pc at an earlier date.
Mind you becareful and make a copy of your data first
I had the same problem. It was skype, I had already unchecked the "use port 80" box under skype options but apparently skype was still running on port 80. I followed the advice at http://ye5.blogspot.com/2011/01/wamp-server-localhost-shows-blank-page.html and it showed that skype was the problem and how to force the process to stop running. Then wampserver worked beautifully.
For those who only have skype installed (no other applications hogging port 80), a temporary workaround is to quit your skype, then start your WAMPServer, then only start your skype. Just my 2 sents.
Same issue, here is the solution !
Cause :
Another program (Skype but not only) is using the port80 (which is by default the one used by wamp).
You can see it typing the following command "netstat -ano" and looking what is on "localadress 0.0.0.0.80", if you want to see the concerned program open, note the number at the end of the line (4 for example), then open taskmanager, services, and see who is on PID 4.
Solution :
Let's change wamp port to 81 !
Change wamp port from 80 to 81
I changed the WAMP PHP version from 5.6 to 7.04 and it worked like a charm. Give it a shot!
Go to > Notification Area > Wamp Icon > PHP > Versions
Enable error reporting in the configuration so that you can see why.
Not only skype will cause the problem, all other software that using port 80 will cause the same problem such as anti-virus, online movie player... if you want to know how to check which software is using port 80, and how to delete it. Please follow the 7 steps that shown on my blog : http://ye5.blogspot.com/2011/01/wamp-server-localhost-shows-blank-page.html
Okay so looking at both responses here and elsewhere, many people have been saying to quit skype or whichever process is running port 80. I used this link http://ye5.blogspot.com/2011/01/wamp-server-localhost-shows-blank-page.html as provided by zac1987 to locate what was interfering via port 80.
However, many people still complained that locating and quitting the program taking up port 80 didn't work straight away. In my case I just had to wait a minute or two for all of the Skype processes to close themselves and then I restarted WAMP Server and it is now working fine.
Hope this helps somebody :)
I had the same problem and I successfull solved it.
First I can saw only blank screen. When I click on Wampserver icon then it show me information about "Server is Offline". I click "Put Online" and server changed to online.
Next, I closed Skype and through Wampserver icon I check that 80 port is free:
Wampserver icon -> Apache -> Service -> Test Port 80
At this time my browser showing me webpage about can't open localhost.
Next, I install apache service: Wampserver icon -> Apache -> Service -> Install Service
After installed I start service: Wampserver icon -> Apache -> Service -> Start/Resume Service
If service start correctly then menu option "Start/Resume Service" is shadow.
Now my webbrowser correctly show localhost webpage.
Additionally in my Skype, I unchecked option "Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections".
I too have the same but i changed the listen port of wamp server to 5050 its works for me and we use skype at port 80 itself. for changing the listen port go to the folder were the wamp server installed. if you are using the windows go to the following path.
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf in that folder find the httpd.conf file open that file any editor and change the listen port 5050.
#Listen 12.34.56.78:5050
Listen 0.0.0.0:5050
Listen [::0]:5050
The cause on my server was a php.ini error on line 107.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/32901489/2407742
I commented out line 107 because it was unnecessary and restarted WAMP.
