The result is

Answer 1

I had the same error today. I changed the #listen from 80 to 86 and it still did not work.

I found this on the wampserver forum:

• apache uses 80 (I changed this to 86 using the methods in other answers here)
• mysql uses 3306
• edit the my.ini in mysql folder
• change 3306 to 3307
• written 3 times in the file
• save and restart wamp.

After this my icon finally turned green. However when I went to localhost it still said not found. This is because you need to append the new port you are using to localhost - ie localhost:86
