How do I make my wamp icon turn green?
1) I have installed 32 bit version wamp 2.2E, on windows XP 32bit. The icon is currently orange. I do not have skype.
2)The windows hosts file does have the line: 127.0.0.1 localhost
3a) Trying to enter //127.0.0.1/ in the browser results in error: "Navigation to the webpage cancelled"
3b) or //localhost/ results in error: "Access denied"
4)Apache and PHP error logs are empty even after restarting services.
5) restarted under services.msc the service "wampmysqld", doesn't help
6) stopping first then restarting all services doesn't help [I should add the icon has never been green from the first installation of wamp has been going to orange]
Answer
Please note this happens because there is some other application running on port 80 , which is used by wamp.
You can check by wamp-> apache-> service -> Test port 80. It will list out applications used by port 80.
In our case IIS server was running http service, so start task manager, first click show all processess, put a stop to HTTP
After this fix i got IIS page issue on localhost which got solved when we did below step check in your hosts file in WINDOWS folder, if entry 127.0.0.0 localhost is commented then uncomment it by removing # infront of that line.
