The surefire method is, after uninstalling WAMP, delete the whole folder of it in c:\wamp in your hard drive. The catch is, that doesn't work all the time. Some might resort to just uninstalling the WAMP program itself, then just re-install it. Sometimes, we tweak with the configuration files of each services or enable/disable some modules on it and we might found ourselves with a broken WAMP install. You re-installed WAMP but with the old configuration file still intact
CONFIG WAMP SERVER INSTALL
XAMPP when installed along WAMP can also cause issue, same is true if Apache standalone service is already installed before you install WAMP.

But the thing is - check if those port numbers are being used.Īpache in WAMP has it's own tool for checking if port number 80 is in use.Ĭlick the WAMP icon in the taskbar > Apache > Service > Test Port 80Īnother thing you can do is, edit the nf file, change the value of "listen" directive to other values aside from 80 and check it out if it worked. This might be the first thing you need to look for, check your firewall (either built-in or anti-virus) and make sure those ports are open and has capability to serve incoming requests.Īnother common scenario is, other programs might be using port number 80 (Skype for example) and 3306 (very rare to happen).

The WAMP icon starts, but kinda stuck with the yellow icon and never turns green "Could not execute menu item (internal error) Could not perform service action" Commonly, Apache uses 80 and MySQL uses 3306.Ĭommon symptom of this issue is, when you click any WAMP menu, it will pop-up a dialog
CONFIG WAMP SERVER SOFTWARE
Some services under WAMP, needs it's own port, so that other software (even running in localhost) is able to communicate with it. However, like any other software in this planet, it could sometime not work because of some conditions or some conflict, not as a flaw of WAMP itself but more of the setup of the user's OS. It's popularity is due to widespread use of Windows Operating System on which WAMP is meant to be deployed. WAMP (Windows/Apache/MySQL/PHP stack) is one of the most popular server package that was known to man.
