I installed WAMP on my Windows 8.1, it was successfully installed, also when I click on start all services all services are started and the icon turns green. When I check port 80, it is used by Apache, but yet I cannot access http://localhost in my browser. Can someone help me? PS: I do not have Skype installed on my PC. I have recently refreshed my windows.

This is my httpd.conf file

  • Check your hosts file to see where `localhost` is pointing to. – Flosculus Feb 09 '16 at 17:06
  • It is pointing to "127.0.0.1 localhost" without the quotes @Flosculus – LoneCoder Feb 09 '16 at 17:08
  • Did you click "Put Server Online" in the menu? The icon can be green and the server not be "online"... – Andrew Coder Feb 09 '16 at 17:08
  • @AndrewCoder No I didn't, where is that option available? When I start my services there is only "Put Offline" option – LoneCoder Feb 09 '16 at 17:10
  • What browser are you using, **if its Chrome**, try another browser, does that work? Chrome has a few issues with `localhost` – RiggsFolly Feb 09 '16 at 17:11
  • If it's displayed as "Put Offline" then it is not related to my comment. That's where it would say "Put Online" – Andrew Coder Feb 09 '16 at 17:11

    @AndrewCoder It is **not necessary to Put Online** all that does is change the `httpd.conf` file to allow access from the universe. Something you should not do unless that is what you intend to do – RiggsFolly Feb 09 '16 at 17:12
  • Ahhh I see. Good to know. – Andrew Coder Feb 09 '16 at 17:13
  • @RiggsFolly Well, localhost is accessible on Internet Explorer but not on chrome. Thanks. May I ask why it isn't accessible on Chrome? – LoneCoder Feb 09 '16 at 17:16
  • **Yea I knew it**. Do a google on `"chrome localhost"` there are a number of ways to make it play nice, but they change almost with each upgrade, so its better you find the one that works for you. – RiggsFolly Feb 09 '16 at 17:17

Modify the apache httpd.conf file. Change Listen 80 to Listen 0.0.0.0:80
