Can't use WAMP , port 80 is used by IIS 7.5

Question

I am trying to use WAMP on Windows 7, my WAMP is online, but when I open localhost I get the welcome page of IIS 7.5, although I have uninstalled IIS 7.5 from my PC!

Answer 1

After uninstalling IIS on Windows 7, I continued to have IIS Welcome page. The solution was to clear the cache of my web browsers. It works fine now. I didn't change anything else. Sorry for my english, if it is not perfect.

Regards

Answer 2

You can also uncheck the IIS services from control panel add or remove programs going for windows add or remove components.

Answer 3

This could also be an issue of port 80 being used by "Web Deployment Agent Service". you can stop it from administrative tools->services and free up that port. as shown here

Answer 4

I had the same problem a month ago on Windows 10. Whenever I tried to access http://localhost/ it led me to the IIS page. I tried removing the IIS feature from windows features. Once I was sure it was gone, I tried running XAMPP, but it still did not work. I did not want to mess with the configuration files. But from this, I was quite sure it had something to do with my web browser. So, deleted the cache from the web browser I was using (Google Chrome).

To do so, I went to:

Chrome > Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Privacy > Clear browsing data > Clear Cached images and files.

Its almost the same process for any web browsers. Right after that, I was able to run XAMPP without any problem!

Hope it helps!

Google search of "remove iis from port 80" leads here currently. Instead of removing IIS, here are the steps to just stop IIS from listening on port 80:

STEP 1: Open IIS Window. You can do this by, simply hitting the ‘Windows’ key and typing in ‘IIS’ or ‘Internet Information Services’. The result will be shown up there. Click it, you will get the window opened for you.

STEP 2: On the ‘Connections’ pane, click the default one to expand it. Usually (PC-NAME(PC-NAME\user), where ‘PC-NAME’ is your PC name, and ‘user’ is the username.

STEP 3: Click ‘Sites’ and expand it. Now select ‘Default Web Site’. On the ‘Actions’ pane, click ‘Bindings’ under the ‘Edit Site’.

STEP 4: Now a window named ‘Site Binding Opens. Click ‘http’ and then click edit. Change the port to another number, say 8000 and click ‘Ok’.
