Wamp server icon will not turn green

I read many similar questions about it but the solutions are not working for me.

The icon says WAMP Server online but it stays orange.

when I test port 80 under Apache/services/Test port 80 it says that port 80 is actually used by: Server: Apache/2.2.8 PHP/5.2.6

Shouldn't that be a good thing? As there are no other programs using port 80, despite that when I type local host I get a weird page instead of the normal one, it has pink bars

I have solution...

  1. Click WampServer icon in tray icons -> Apache -> Service -> Install service (same for mysql -> Service -> Install service )

  2. Then, Apache -> Service -> Start service (same for MySql -> Service -> Start service)

done! Enjoy :-)
