Apache server not working in WAMP

Hi all, I cannot seem to get Apache to work in WAMP on windows Vista! I disabled IIS as not to interact with Apache but when I try to install Apache it says that port 80 may be occuped by Skype! Except I have removed Skype??? I have no idea what else to do?

 

Thanks Tracy

have you got a programme called skype installed by chance? skype uses port 80 the same as Apache. Either disable/uninstall skype or configure Apache to use a port other than port 80.

 

To do so left click the WAMP tray icon and select Apache > httpd.conf

Scroll down and find

Listen 80

Change 80 to 8080

 

Scroll down futher and find

ServerName localhost:80

again change 80 to 8080

 

Save the httpd.conf and restart WAMP.

 

To access WAMP go to http://localhost:8080/

Or set up Skype not to use port 80.

Go to Skype > Tools > Options > Advanced > Connection

and uncheck the checkbox next to 'use ports 80 and 443 as alternative ports'

 

(the wording may be different, I use localised version of Skype)
