WAMP Server not working

Got it! Under the WAMP tray icon, left-click context menu > Apache > Service > Test Port 80, it said :

"Your port 80 is actually used by - Info not available, Must be Skype"

Well, so off goes Skype, WAMP > Restart All Services, and Localhost shows "WAMP5 Homepage":

Localhost WAMP CP
(source: wampserver.com)

And, phpMyAdmin works, PHP scripts execute too. Wow!

So now I can dubug in the proper fashion! Thank you StackOverflow!


Skype reserves port 80 for its incoming connection which conflicts with WAMP, so simply configure Skype to use another port by doing the following:

In Skype go to Tools|Options|Advanced|Connection uncheck the option --> Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections, that's it

For this change to take effect restart Skype and Restart all services on WAMP by doing the following:

Left-click WAMP tray icon > Restart All Services"

Now Wamp and Skype can co-exist together, hope this solves your problem!!
