During the installation of Apache2 I got the following message into cmd window:
Installing the Apache2.2 service The Apache2.2 service is successful
Follow this step it will works fine. Go to Control panel-->Programs and features-->click Turn Windows features on and off--> see IIS is Checked Or Not If checked please unckeck IIS and restart the computer.After that Open services see Web Deployement Agent Service status if its started please stop.And also see WampAppache and WampSqlID if its not started please start manually. it will works for me.
if appache and IIS both are running at a time then there is a posibility to hang the apache service,,,,
when i stopped all IIS websites once and then restarted apache service and it works for me....Jai...
For me, this was the result of having set the document root (in httpd.conf
) to a directory that did not exist (I had just emptied htdocs of a previous project).
I had the same issue. when i restarted my wamp it turns to Yellow color icon but not green. In services i stop all sql server services. after that it works for me..
Remove apache from Control Panel and delete the apache folder from Program Files and restart the machine, then install apache again. This will solve the problem; if not do the following: Install IIS if not installed, then start IIS and stop it ... Using services start apache service... enjoy apache.
if you are using windows os and believe that skype is not the suspect, then you might want to check the task manager and check the "Show processes from all users" and make sure that there is NO entry for httpd.exe. Otherwise, end its process. That solves my problem.
