Wampserver 2.1 gives orange icon after install on Windows 7_问答_开发者

I just installed Wampserver 2.1 on my windows 7 64bit computer and the icon that should turn green, turns orange, saying that the server is not ready.

The result is that on opening the browser on http://localhost/ it just timed out.

anybody an idea, I tried google on this, but without any correct result.

The apache error log says this:

[Fri Mar 11 14:40:58 2011] [notice] Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) PHP/5.3.4 configured -- resuming normal operations[Fri Mar 11 14:40:58 2011] [notice] Server built: Oct 24 2010 13:33:15

so no mayor issues in my opinion.

versions running are: apache 2.2.17 php 5.3.4 mysql 5.1.53

If I use the service to test port 80, he does that ok, saying to me this:

Port 80 is actually being used by: Server: Apache/2.2.17 (win32) php/5.3.4

update: It still isn't solved after some months开发者_StackOverflow and Skype is not even installed and never has been installed on the computer.

It is probably your Skype giving you a hard time. Try configuring your Skype this way:

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection -> Unchecking the 'Use port 80...'

I had the same problem and it worked for me.

I have had the same issues on Windows 7, orange WAMP icon and when the mouse is on the WAMP icon, it shows the server is online, but I cannot connect to the server. Found out nothing running on port 80, I do not have skype and my hosts file is correct.

What worked for me is described below.

When I left click on the WAMP icon Apache -> Service, I saw that the start/stop service was grayed out.

So, I clicked on "Install service" Apache -> Service -> Install Service.

This did the trick

check the Apache port being used by your wamp at "http.conf" . Try changing the port to a number above 1024 and than restart apache. Than try to access the Apache server using a url like http://localhost:$PORT_NUMBER_HERE . If it works is because your user does not have permission to open a socket below 1024. This is common in unix environments but I am not a windows user to know if it has the same restrictions. Have a try.

You might also check the windows firewall and give access to the port being used, if the firewall is blocking it.

regards.

I struggled with this for hours on end on different machines. Often one solution did not work on the next machine. This is what I, by trial and error, found out worked like a charm every time.

Installed WAMP on win7 POS

Add MSVCR100.dll to System32
Install VB 2008
Install WAMP
Disable World wide web publishing service in Services
Start WAMP as administrator.

Finished. No need to edit httpd.conf, no need to edit hosts-file and no need to disable IIS.

A total install of WAMP following these steps take well under ten minutes. Hope it does the trick for you as well.

Check each service individually. MySQL uses port 3360 so that might be blocked as well.

On a personal note, I've been finding WAMP a problem after version 2.0i, so I switched to a Linux VM or even another computer running linux for my PHP development.

Try EasyPHP since you can install that onto a USB drive so you can keep the "WAMP" with you.

Check your hosts file. It should be located @ /windows/system 32/drivers/etc/

Edit the file in notepad or something similar and look for two lines that read something like

# 127.0.0.1 localhost and # ::1 localhost

Remove the # from the beginning of each line, save the file (make sure there is no file extension when you do) and then restart WAMP.

This should work, at least it did for me, but there are various other programs that can conflict with WAMP like Skype.

Hope this works

I use Wampserver 2.2. I had the same problem, icon would just stay orange... Here's what I found out : If you click on the

Wamp Tray Icon > Apache > Service > Test Port 80

Well that showed me what was already using port 80: Server : Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0, which is not what I wanted... So I did like suggested above and changed the value of Listen 80 in http.conf to Listen 81. Stopped and restarted and it works.

I had this problem with an orange wamp due to that IIS and/or the Web Deployment Agent Service used when developing web applications in Visual Studio was blocking port 80. When I stopped these two services wamp started just fine with a beautiful green icon :)

Run these two commads from the commandline as administrator to stop the services

iisreset /stop
net stop msdepsvc

I had the same issue, and after reading this post, I found that here's what you need to do, if you're running both Wamp and Skype at the same time, to avoid issues. MAKE SURE YOU OPEN YOUR WAMP SERVER FIRST, THEN OPEN SKYPE. That eliminated the problem, I was able to connect to the WAMP server with no problem, and the icon was green :).

I had the same error today. I changed the #listen from 80 to 86 and it still did not work.

I found this on the wampserver forum:

apache uses 80 (I changed this to 86 using the methods in other answers here)
mysql uses 3306
edit the my.ini in mysql folder
change 3306 to 3307
written 3 times in the file
save and restart wamp.

After this my icon finally turned green. However when I went to localhost it still said not found. This is because you need to append the new port you are using to localhost - ie localhost:86

I just right clicked on Wamp and changed http.conf . the listening port was 80 and I changed it to 2000

Listen 2000

and everything worked like a charm

Solved by reinstalling the Microsoft Visual C++ to 64 bits (it was 32 bits, don't know why).

I just unchecked using port 80 from Skype advance settings and it start working fine.

Before that I had changed the MySQL port 3306 to 3307 from the MySQL my.ini file

C:/wamp/alias

and look your alias maybe you change DISK D:\ to K:\

"Alias /virtualram/ "D:/virtualram/".

Do not change port 80 to 8080!

For me it worked by

1 - # 127.0.0.1 localhost and # ::1 localhost and uncommenting these
lines in host file

2 - Inside MySql - my.ini file changing port 3306 to 3307 at three
places

Thanks Guys !

Fix for Windows 7 PC - Open ISS Manager -> Stop the Service from the right bar.

And select restart all service on Wamp CP.

Worked for me ;)
