Have you installed the C++ Redistributable Package ?

You should install it before installing wamp!

Causes for ’404 error in wamp server’: This problem happening for Port issue. You may be install some services which one taking Port 80. Like,

Skype IIS Express Web Server Some Torrent Clients Teamviewer ... So only ‘HTTP 404 error page not found’ happening.

Solution:

You have to change your wamp server Port number. Just do following simple steps,

Open httpd.conf file After run your wamp server, left click taskbar Wamp green icon. Then go-to Apache->httpd.conf

(Otherwise open like: C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\conf )

Change Listen 80 There, Line number 46 having “Listen 80″. Just replace 80 as “81″ like Listen 81

Change ServerName localhost:80 And Line number 171 having “ServerName localhost:80″. Just replace with same number as you used Line number 46. Like, ServerName localhost:81 And save this file.

Use URL Just restart your Apache or Wamp then use URL like following, localhost:81 or 127.0.0.0:81 ( here 127.0.0.0: is your wamp IP )

localhost:81

Did you Tried

127.0.0.1

instead of localhost

  1. IIS and Apache/Wamp are both web server and might conflict in some way, so you have to disable IIS in order for Wamp to work

Disable IIS : Control Panel, Uninstall Programs, Turn Widows Features On or Off, uncheck Internet Information Services

  1. if using skype, open skype > tools > options > connections > advanced > untick "use port 80 ..." then restart wamp then skype

  2. There might be port problem in httpd.conf change it to 80 instead of other ON LINE NO 40+

LISTEN 80

OR TRY TO CONNECT

  • The last but not least method

Try to uninstall WAMP Server and reinstall it in another Drive except same drive.

Your wamp server should be started (green icon in the tray), the Apache and PHP services should be ON.

In most of the cases wamp server launches Apache on default 80 port, which might be used (for example from Skype) when you try to start Apache, so kill processes that listen on port 80 before launching wamp.
