    #-Link-Snipped-# - It could very well be a port related issue. Did you try changing the port for your apache or mysql?

    Update: You may also try running httpd or httpd -e debug commands to start it as a program (and not a service).

    I've found that most of the server not starting type issues are because of either invalid configuration and more so a port related issue in this specific case.

    i changed the port number from
    #Listen 12.34.56.78:80
    Listen 80

    to

    #Listen 12.34.56.78:82
    Listen 82

    in apache's hhtpd.conf notepad file in wamp server

    Try 8080, then restart.

    If that doesn't work-
    1. Try netstat -aon , then look for the entries that have :80 to indicate what's keeping port 80 engaged. (I'm assuming that you're running your server on port 80). Note the Process ID (PID).

    2. Kill that process from Windows taskmanager.

    3. If you have any software (messaging service) like Skype, Gtalk currently running; try changing the settings to make them use some other port.

    I compiled following instructions from various sources. Haven't tried it all myself; but you may give this a try -

    I think WAMP allows you to see if port 80's engaged: Select Apache -> Service -> Test Port 80.

    Try : Select Apache -> Service -> Install Service if not already done.

    Let me know if this works.

    Looks like port was indeed the issue, right?
