Wampserver Error

Question

Ok http://localhost/ won't load now. Recently I installed skype and am aware of the skype port conflict error. I have removed 'use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections' from options and still no luck. I have also uninstalled skype, reinstalled it and restarted my machine several times to no avail. Also, I just tried to run my torrent client and I am getting an error for the first time.

Any ideas? many thanks

Answer 1

You are getting a 404 I'm assuming?

have you tried http://127.0.0.1 ?

If this works and you are on Windows try adding the following to your hosts file

127.0.0.1 localhost

(Hosts file can be found in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Answer 2

I have the same exact problem. Checked host file, disabled firewalls, removed skype, stopped steam, you name it - still not working...

Answer 3

I ran into this same exact issue. I tested port 80 by clicking on the wamp icon, going to Apache, and then service, and then test port 80. It said that port 80 was currently being used by Microsoft-HTTPAIP/2.0. After a bit of research, I found out that was was a process from Microsoft Reporting Services (result of installing SQL Server 2008). I stopped the service from within the services console, and voila! It worked fine.
