Hi Guys

I have a new PC VBG! Runs vista - new learning curve. Have installed wamp 5 which I have used successfully in the past for a local host install of xoops. Appears to have work fine - but after shutting down and logging off - restarting pc the next day wamp 5 will not start any services. I have testes apache and port 80 and both report that there is a apache using them. I found through google a little trick and tried that and still nothing. here but it didn't seem to help. Anyone come across this? If not i will try xampp. link here

many apologies for the typos in this orginal post - no wonder no-one answered!

Bump

Sorry - I haven't used WAMP, only XAMPP, nor have I used Vista...

For what it's worth, the Windows event log should tell you something - right-click My Computer and select Manage. Under System, expand Event Viewer. The System log will tell you about any errors generated by services.

XAMPP has an option to run the servers as services - does WAMP?

Can you navigate the WAMP folders and launch the servers directly?

Are the processes listed in the Task Manager?
