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 *****

Your port 80 is used by a processus with PID = 6612

This service is from Wampserver - It is correct

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.

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 have been getting blank pages on all of my projects in WAMP and it's because the WAMP icon in the task tray is orange which means something is not starting correctly. I have reinstalled WAMP several times. I have checked the apache and php error logs and there is nothing. I have seen that other programs use port 80 and can foul up the works with wamp but I checked the resource monitor and there is only one with port 80 while wamp is running. When I click "Put online" from the wamp manager, it says "Cannot execute menu item" Any ideas?
Edit: I clicked "Test Port 80" under the apache service menu of the wamp manager and it says this:
Your port is actually used by !
Server: Microsoft-255/10.0
Wondering if that has anything to do with the problem.
you should cahnge port number for apache server or close other programms that use this port number like Skype or Microsoft IIS
go to C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf and open httpd.conf with a text editor like notepad++ ... find these lines and change the port number from 80 to another number like 70
Listen 0.0.0.0:70
Listen [::0]:70
ServerName localhost:70
save it and restart all services
I'm having a very similar error to Getting an error when starting WAMP - "VirtualHost *:80 -- mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, proceeding with undefined results"
I'm getting the same
Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80"
error message in the event logs viewer. I tried the fix of disabling skype from using port 80 however when I do that nothing comes up in the console. I am using 64 bit wamp, im in a 64 bit windows 8.1 laptop.
Edit: Problem resolved, changed Listening on 80 to 8080 in httpd.cfg
There is a menu item on the WAMPManager icon ( the one in the system tray ) called Test Port 80
You get to it by
wampmanager -> Apache -> Service -> Test Port 80
This will load a command window and show you the name of the other application that has captured port 80.
Then you have to work out what to do about it of course.
Also as far as I am aware the Windows 8 tiled version of SKYPE does not have any way of being configured to stop using port 80. But if you uninstall the Tile version of SKYPE and install the normal Windows version, that allows you to configure it so it will not attempt to use port 80 or 443.
If you really cannot find the wampmanager icon try this instead
Try this
netstat -anop TCP | find ":80"
tasklist /FI "PID eq 999" /FO TABLE /NH
replacing 999 with the PID number from the previous command that is using port 80.
Other programs can mess with this.
Are you using Skype by chance or any other program.
If you are just turn it off and then launch wamp and then launch your program.
Open Command Prompt and run netstat -ano | findstr :80
That will list all connections and their process ID (on the right) that are using port 80. Match them with process IDs in your task manager and close them.
I've checked in the cmd, I've checked into just about everything and port 80 is good to go but local host is still blank. I followed a tutorial to move the wamp install to dropbox, and on my desktop it loads fine. However when it's on my laptop localhost is blank. I'm at a loss.
I fixed this issue. In case anyone in the future runs into if:
Use Wampservers watch :80 from the apache menu to see what is using it.
For me it was IIS. You have to use a command line code to end it. Open CMD and run:
NET STOP IISADMIN /Y
If you are running Windows 8 add
"Allow from ::1"
beneath
Allow from 127.0.0.1
in both httpd.conf and phpmyadmin.conf.
A better solution would be to use wampmanager -> Apache -> Service -> Test port 80
This will launch a command window and tell you is anything is using port 80.
Then rather than killing it ( if its a service that is automatically started it will just be back again after a reboot ) attempt to reconfigure it so it no longer uses port 80.
or
Try this link
http://ye5.blogspot.in/2011/01/wamp-server-localhost-shows-blank-page.html
Click on wampmanager icon -> Apache -> Service -> Test port 80
After you can see Port 80 is used by any other application in your system
Then rather than killing service ( if its a service that is automatically started it will just be back again after a reboot ) you need to attempt reconfigure it, so it no longer uses port 80.
