Wamp server icon indicates in orange color

Wamp server icon in system tray indicates in orange color and i could not be able to connect.

When checking the apache services it displays the error as follows: your port 80 is actually used by information not available (might be skype)

I even checked with the other programs that whether they are using the port 80. the answer is no and I have not installed skype/IIS on my machine.

I have followed what is mentioned in the following link also which is failure again. WAMP - Your port 80 is actually used - Error

i copied httpd.conf from another machine's wamp folder. stopped all services and restarted It was not working again.

Please any one help me on this to solve this.

Well, I once have this problem, and found the problem that apache server is NOT actually installed.
Try click on Apache->service in wamp's trasy icon. Click on "Install service". Cmd will be opened, press enter. Restart all service, and put it online.
Hope this helps.

To find out if something is using port 80 and what that thing is launch a command windows using 'Run as Administrator' and do :

netstat -aon | find ":80"

The result might look something like this

TCP    0.0.0.0:80             0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       6948
TCP    192.168.2.11:52629     190.93.245.58:80       ESTABLISHED     6420
TCP    192.168.2.11:52630     198.252.206.16:80      ESTABLISHED     6420
TCP    [::]:80                [::]:0                 LISTENING       6948

The numbers at the end of each line are PID's so take the PID number from above and do

tasklist /fi "PID eq 6948"

You should see something like

Image Name                     PID Session Name        Session#    Mem Usage
========================= ======== ================ =========== ============
httpd.exe                     6948 Services                   0     24,688 K

Although the program using port 80 may be different.

And thats the program that is using port 80, its Apache in my case.
