I've recently install WAMP 2.2 on my Windows PC. For whatever reason, my WAMP server isn't working. I try to open php files on my localhost but I get the famous 404 error message. The icon is orange and says that it is online, but that 404 error is showing me otherwise.Any ideas as to why it isn't working for me?

Just go to test port 80. If its being used by another process, you can defined your own port at httpd.conf Search and find the following string on file httpd.conf1

   Listen 80

and change to 

   Listen {to desired port like 8888}
