Here are some ways to make wampserver work.

  1. Check the icon of wampserver.
    • RED ===> Service not working.
    • ORANGE ===> Not working.
    • GREEN ===> I'm working!

  2. Test if another service is using port 80 by clicking the wampserver icon > Apache > Test Port 80. It will open your command prompt and display whether or not any service is using port 80. Another way of doing it: click on the icon of window and search cmd then hit enter to type

    netstat -ano

    and check in the PID column if any service is using port 80. Most frequently it will be Skype and IIS that will use port 80.

  3. If Skype is using port 80, simply open Skype, click on tool > options > advanced > connections and uncheck the box that says "use port 80 and 443 as alternative".

  4. Once finished with the port 80, if it still doesn't work, click the icon of wampserver > apache > httpd.conf and change the following lines

    Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen [::0]:80

    to this

    Listen 0.0.0.0:8080
Listen [::0]:8080

    and this line

    ServerName localhost:80

    to this

    ServerName localhost:8080

    Save your file and type in your browser http://localhost:8080 and generally it should work.

  5. The problem might also come when it says

    VCRUNTIME.dll is missing

    or something like that. In this case, you are missing Visual Studio 2012 VC 11 vcredist_x64/86.exe (depending the version of wampserver you're using) when you should have read the warning sign before installing it. To fix it, go to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 or whichever version of it you need to use, and download it. Run the program and click on repair.

  6. After all these steps, restart wampserver by clicking wampserver icon > Restart all services and refresh your localhost. If you changed to using port 8080, enter :8080 just after entering localhost in your adress bar and this should work.

Hope this helped.
