WAMP cannot connect to localhost...AV program uses port 80


Recommended Posts

Installed WAMP on my Windows 7 32-bit PC and cannot connect to localhost or 127.0.0.1 (error below).  I believe our Company's AV program (Kaspersky) is using a proxy server on port 80, so what should I do to be able to connect on a different port (as I can't change the Kaspersky settings)?

 

Thanks!

Update...it's actually our Mail program that's using port 80 and blocking my access to localhost.  As soon as I shut down the Kerio Connect process, I was able to connect to localhost.  However, I'd rather not have my mail program stopped, so I still need to know if there's a different port I can use to connect (and how to change the settings if there is).

 

Thanks!

yes, Wamp can use a different port.

 

To do so, click the WAMP taskbar icon > Apache > httpd.conf

 

Find   Listen 80   and change to   Listen 8080  save httpd.conf.

 

Now run WAMP, starting all services, now use http://localhost:8080/ to access localhost
