Windows 10: WAMP not working

I updated Win 7 to Win 10. Installed programs such as Office are working fine. Wamp doesn't make it to the final online stage. It says it can't find a file yet the file is clearly there. I uninstalled, cleared all files, rebooted then reinstalled with the same results. Here is the error message and File explorer listing.

Wamp Server 64bits does not start on Windows 10

I found that I had to disable IIS, since that software was using port 80, while Wamp wants to use it.

It turned out that change Wamp to use port 8080 doesn't help, and the Wamp services then won't start.

I found this work-around on the Wamp-forum, and on Google.

 

WAMP Icon not visible in tray even though set to On in settings

The Icon for WAMP appears briefly in the tray when WAMP is starting but then it disappears and becomes a hidden Icon despite that fact that I have set it to be On in the taskbar settings.

I looked at the "solution" to the problem on the Wamp forum. It was very complicated installing some 32 bit sources as well as updating a number of C++ stuff. So much for how easy it is to install Wamp.

So I tried XAMPP, one minor port use tweak it works. Also it was easy to change the web files directory location just as I did with Wamp. I guess this qualifies as a work-around *Smile

 

Hi, could you please explain what was the port tweak that solved your problem? After installing Windows 10 my XAMPP Apache refuses to start. The error message I get is this one:

Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
10:04:53 AM [Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
10:04:53 AM [Apache] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
10:04:53 AM [Apache] Check the "/xampp/apache/logs/error.log" file
10:04:53 AM [Apache] and the Windows Event Viewer for more clues

Thank you for your attention

 

I went to Control Panel -> Adminstrative Tools -> Component services -> Services(Local) and disabled "World Wide Web Publishing Service"

 

Changes to avoid port 80
C:\xampp\apache\conf

#Listen 80
Listen 82

#ServerName localhost:80
ServerName localhost:82

Interesting: I have a new Dell XPS 8700 running Win 10 and Wamp works great.

 

this problem may because you have some software like skype which using port 80. must change port on option setting if have it.
