WAMPs don't work on my Windows XP Sp3

Recommended Posts

Hi. I have a big problem. I have installed IIS before. Then I uninstalled IIS to install WampServer. WampServer installed. But "localhost" not working and the WampServer is always offline. Then I tried EasyPHP, XAMPP, AppServ, and others. But they have same problem. Localhost/127.0.0.1 doesn't work. Port 80 is not busy. I don't know what should I do? Does IIS damaged windows registry or localhost? Do I need to install Windows again? Please help me.

Check your hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) and make sure it has localhost as 127.0.0.1 Then ensure you no longer have ANY server software installed (check Add/Remove programs for all of them) also check running services (type services.msc into the run dialog). Restart Windows. Once everything is definately removed choose which one you wish to use and start from scratch.

Which services must be disabled?
