I am having problems with Wamp Server, the icon will never turn green. It is constantly stuck at orange. Unless you have another Apache running!

If Apache is the service that is not running it is normally, but not always, because something else has captured port Whatever it is should be re-configured to not use port 80 or uninstalled if you are not using it.

If port 80 is not the problem look for errors in the appropriate error log use the wamp manager menus to view the error logs.

I did find the problem after a little more research after posting this question. Just learned about Event Viewer from Windows, very useful! Thank you — CatalinBerta. If in the Apache Services menu there is no way to click start or stop service, you more than likely need to click "Install Service" - this got me up and running!

Very helpfull. Note that on windows 10, port 80 is used by IIS server. All explained in this thread stackoverflow. Event Viewer solved it for me, thanks so much for your help! Add a comment. Install will proceed. Press Enter to continue This solution worked for me :D Followed "If apache not running". And it worked. Thank you very much! WAMP restarted with a green icon.

You are a life saver. A great and a simple solution — Satish Sharma. Show 3 more comments. SteveW SteveW 71 1 1 silver badge 3 3 bronze badges. Forgot to change the DocumentRoot!
