Wamp Local host blank. Port 80 is clear

Question

I've checked in the cmd, I've checked into just about everything and port 80 is good to go but local host is still blank. I followed a tutorial to move the wamp install to dropbox, and on my desktop it loads fine. However when it's on my laptop localhost is blank. I'm at a loss.

I fixed this issue. In case anyone in the future runs into if: Use Wampservers watch :80 from the apache menu to see what is using it.

For me it was IIS. You have to use a command line code to end it. Open CMD and run:

NET STOP IISADMIN /Y

If you are running Windows 8 add

"Allow from ::1"

beneath

Allow from 127.0.0.1

in both httpd.conf and phpmyadmin.conf.

open wampserver->www->index.php and write `` and run localhost again and tell what display there — Tamil Selvan C, Oct 05 '13 at 05:01

A better solution would be to use wampmanager -> Apache -> Service -> Test port 80

This will launch a command window and tell you is anything is using port 80.

Then rather than killing it ( if its a service that is automatically started it will just be back again after a reboot ) attempt to reconfigure it so it no longer uses port 80.

I tried that. It was kind of a perfect storm. Port 80 was used by IIS, and I'm on Win 8 so I was running ipv6 so localhost wouldn't allow access so I had to follow this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/13981168/2014858 I'm win8 on my desktop where wamp worked from the start so not sure what hapened. I fixed the issue. Thank you. – Patrick Cauley Oct 05 '13 at 05:50
Ah thanks for this. It reported "no information might be skype", and lo and behold I forgot skype was running. – Mark Nov 20 '14 at 01:26

Click on wampmanager icon -> Apache -> Service -> Test port 80

After you can see Port 80 is used by any other application in your system

Then rather than killing service ( if its a service that is automatically started it will just be back again after a reboot ) you need to attempt reconfigure it, so it no longer uses port 80.

Use below link to resolved your problem.
