Wampserver apache won't start

Well, it's simple, just change port 80 to 8080 in the httpd.config of the Apache server =D

it's not working

It seems to me that it's the IIS service that's conflicting with Apache; well, that's what happened to me, but I'm running Windows 2000 Server.

IIS should not be a program but a service; what I advise you is to type in Google "disable IIS" and you will surely find a solution or a command to disable it
I know it’s not a great answer but I don’t want to give you bad advice, I don’t know any more than you on this point, but that’s what I would do if I were in your place

I prefer to keep my mouth shut and look like a fool
than to open it and leave no doubt about it.

When I test port 80, it says:

server: Microsft-HTTPAPI/2.0

port 80 is used by IIS, but I don't know what that is and I can't find it in the programs.

Thank you anyway, it works for me by stopping the Microsoft SQL SERVER reporting service.

The WAMP server should normally start on localhost 127.0.0.1, at least if you want to code in PHP and test your code; otherwise, I must admit I don't know.
Look into Windows commands; whenever something like this happens, there's always a way to disable it with cmd.

what's not working?

yes, that's what I was thinking but the IIS service is disabled

I have exactly the same problem. And easyPHP doesn't work either.

do you have a restrictive proxy or are you using these software?
sometimes configurations are necessary in the default internet browser
do you have an error or information message?
if yes, show it to us, there are quite a few things that can block access (even ports, proxy, admin, software config)

Ok, thank you very much for your help.

Thank you very much, it worked for me!

It works in principle for this case.

Port 80 is used by Skype, for those who have it, simply change the port of Skype in its settings.

A much simpler, faster way to do it, works for me.

1- go to execute command
2- type: net stop http
3- restart server

Hello,

After searching thoroughly on the Internet, many forums talk about finding guilty SQL services, but personally, no SQL process/service was running in my services. And the so-called services titled "sql reporting services" or "Web Deployment Service Agent" do not exist in my version of Windows 7.

I found a solution; the culprit could be the IIS server launched by default by Windows. You then need to go to the IIS interface and stop the server.

I've put a little tutorial here for those who want the details with screenshots.

There you go, it worked perfectly for me!

Hello,

Do you have the Microsoft redistributable package?

Otherwise, Apache won't work without these components.

Port 80 is used by the internet, thank you.
