I installed wamp 2.4 in my system. But it is not loading localhost. It keeps loading and loading in firefox. In apache errors log, i found the following error [Sat Nov 30 20:11:44.232540 2013] [mpm_winnt:error] [pid 2592:tid 1508] (OS 10038)An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. : AH00332: winnt_accept: getsockname error on listening socket, is IPv6 available?

Finally solved the problem.

If you ever get the following error while executing:

netsh winsock reset

The following helper DLL cannot be loaded: WSHELPER.DLL
The following command was not found: winsock reset

It means that your PC is badly attacked by trojans. Scan full system with an antivirus to confirm. Removing virus is the only way to solve this issue.

Try to close other servers working like teamviewer for example.

I have also read that sometimes even skype make conflict with wamp.

So try again but before you open wamp close every other app using internet and is loading when windows starting.

Probably an app listening to the same port with your server.

Or you can try to change the port (from 80 change it to 8080 or something else) but then remember to load localhost : 8080/

Quoting from Wampserver forum

Try editing your c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (make sure to create a backup)

It should contain only one reference to "localhost"

and that should read

127.0.0.1 localhost

if you see a line like this ::1 localhost

comment it out like so
#::1 localhost

Reboot.

Start wamp and try again.

Also look at this question ..
Apache winnt_accept: getsockname error
