I'm used to WAMP, but I've experienced some issues lately on the windows 7 OS.

So I wondered if there are other or better local host servers that I can use?

In my case it's for PHP and MySQL development.

I would recommend XAMPP (comes bundled with PhpMyAdmin, and some other stuff), but you might also want to consider Zend Server CE which I've not tried.

Also, see Anything Similar to WAMP on this site.

I've had no problems whatsoever with XAMPP (also Windows 7).

There are other WAMP stacks available. Personally, I use xampp on Windows 7 without problems, but also have a custom build and IIS/PHP on the same machine. Debate on which is better is likely to lead to flame wars

I also experienced this problem on win7. In my case it was skype who was blocking port 80 somehow. Because I only work on localhost in development face I changed apache listening port in httpd.conf.

Worked for me

I dont think xamp or wamp matter in your case because you have the same apache and mysql anyways.

Another alternative that I've used in the past is EasyPHP. A bonus to EasyPHP are the modules for WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and other eCommerce or Forum applications. You can also install EasyPHP onto a USB drive and take it to any computer/workstation you are using.
