WAMP Server Offline Error
Some of you might get the “Server Offline” error after you install WAMP on your windows 7 system. This happens if IIS server was installed in the system prior to the installation of WAMP thus creating the clash of the port address where both the servers are trying to access http://localhost/
This issue can be resolved by changing the port address for the WAMP server. Follow the below given steps to do the same:
- Go to c:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf
- Open httpd.conf file
- Change the line “Listen 80” to “Listen 8080” (or Listen <some number>)
- Save the file and close it
- Go to c:\wamp\ and open wampmanager.ini
- Change all http://localhost/ references in the file to http://localhost:8080/
- Save the file and close it
- Go to c:\wamp\ and open wampmanager.tpl
- Change all http://localhost/ references in the file to http://localhost:8080/
- Restart the WAMP Server
The above solution helps you to run both servers at the same time.Alternatively, you can also run only one server at a time i.e. running either IIS or WAMP server which does not require the above file modifications. But in some cases, this did not resolve the issue for unknown reasons.
The solution for this issue has been tested on Windows 7. The solution may be same for Windows Vista and Windows XP operating systems.
thanks its work very well
thanks
You are a day saver. Thank you for the help 🙂
Great! Works perfect.
But how do you change the localhost button on the wamp menu to open up in http://localhost:8080/ instead of just http://localhost/ ?
Never mind… got it to work after I exited wamp and re-started it again.
Thanks a lot !!!

Stopped IIS on Win 7 and WAMPServer fired right up. thanks!
thanks for giving this info …..
in my condition still like before……
icon was green but the notification still offline
gracias hombre, me ha sido de mucha ayuda, thanks man,
For those with green icon and server not showing the menu on click as well as Green icon – Server offline message, check if you have any other standalone php version installed in your syste and uninstall it. For some reason other php version is not liked by WAMP ! It worked for me ! Try this..
dont forget to restart the services after you uninstall other php versions !
Now, I am stuck with error page while I type localhost:8080 (yes, i have changed the port), that is, no page opens! Anyone with a fix for this ??
Thank you so much…..;-)
Thnk you so much, it ‘ll working propperly..
thanks ,it’s working properly 🙂
from above step: http://localhost:8080/ is working but
http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/ :- is not working….
Thank you, It works.

That was exactly it – thanks!
thanks it works very well

thanks a lot, you are awesome!

Go to control panel -> administrative tools -> services ->SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) then you just stop the SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) service then restart the wamp server then it automatically orange icon turns to green for more info just it out http://www.coderetina.com/port-80-used-by-microsoft-httpapi2-0-wamp-apache-error-fixed/ thanks
1 Go to c:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf
2 Open httpd.conf file
3 only change 80 to any number between 11 and 9999
ex. 99
change every where there write 80 port
and than close wampserver and again start
open page in your browser
http://localhost:99 99 is nuber which is use in config file ok
