WAMP Server Orange Icon - Apache not working

votes

I don't know why my WAMP Server cannot work. It just show the orange icon. I can access the database via MySQL console, so I guess the problems are on Apache. Here is my httpd.conf file. I'm newbie to this, so I haven't changed this file. Can anyone tell me what's the problem here?

ServerRoot "D:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.4"

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to 
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

Is this fresh installation? – Rahil Wazir
Just in case run the this. Run the test port 80. Left click wampmanager -> Apache -> service -> Test port 80. and edit your question with the results. – RiggsFolly
WampServer 2.4 had a few errors in it so it woudl be a good idea to check this document to fix them. forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,119754 – RiggsFolly

This is because your apache can not be started. You can debug apache startup problems as described here:

I think the issue is in the httpd.conf

Open a command window, then CD into \wamp\bin\apache\apache2.x.y\bin, replace x,y with your actual version. Now you can run this command to get Apache(httpd) to vaidate the httpd.conf file

httpd.exe -t

This should give errors with line numbers related to the http.conf file. It stops on the first error, so you will have to keep running it and fixing the error and then run it again until it gives the all OK message.
