How to get Wamp server started and running in Windows.

Wamp server not starting? There could be many reasons as to why this is happening.
I'll give you a solution to one of the most obvious reasons, Which is, your application ports  (Skype or IIS) are conflicting with wamp.

Here are the two possible ways to resolve this issue. Change Your IIS and Skype port number from 80 to another port number to avoid the conflict

1. Stop all services on Wamp2

2. Open a file called httpd.conf in your *apache folder. and replace the port 80 with 82 or any number that you would like, just check to make sure the port number you change to does not conflict with any other port.

3. Restart/start all services and you will get wamp up and running.

 

*I found the file at C:\wamp\Apache2\conf, and S:\wamp\Apache2\conf\default. It would be good to search for the file.
