Wamp server, localhost and phpmyadmin - mysql

I installed Wamp server to windows XP 32-bit.
When start the Wamp server and call the localhost from the browser,
the browser gives me empty an page. The same thing happens when calling phpMyAdmin page.
So I searched for solutions to this problem. I've tried to fix it but until now the problem is not solved.
About the problem that fixed it
1- UnInstall the skype . or change the port that skype used it from 80 .to another port number
2- if you install oracle to your pc . turn off the service for it
3- also if you install sqlserver . turn off the service for it
4-if the last problems and the problem of wamp server is stilling. change the port that used it from 80 to 8080 .
I do all of theses steps but the wamp server untill now not worked

you should look for the reason WAMP is not working:
you do havs a 32bit OS, do you have a 32Bit WAMP? A 64Bit Version will not work
if you don't see anything at all of Apache running, is Apache running (Tasklist) ?
What about the Logfiles? I never used an Apache on Windows, Google told me your logfiles should be located at: c:/wamp/logs . Anything in there that might help?

check the steps before you handing the WAMP Server:
use 32 bit WAMP server.
change the port no 80 to 81.
Stop the IIS services.
Start the Apache server.
restart the WAMP server.
use the port no in your URL.Like.
http: // localhost:81 /
now you can view the screen of WAMP server.

WAMP Not Starting

I'm trying to get started with WAMP server on a Windows 10 computer. When I try to launch the WAMP application on the computer, I get an error message that says This application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).
The WAMP icon in the taskbar tray is orange, with 2 of 3 services running.
I am still able to access the WAMP dashboard through localhost in my browser.
I've gone through and installed all the required Visual C++ redistributables to no avail.
I've enabled both the .NET frameworks.
I've installed Microsoft DirectX.
I've restarted the computer.
I don't have Skype.
Running as an administrator.
Some of the things I tried might be completely useless, I was just watching a few YouTube videos about how to resolve this error.
It says in 'services.msc' that it's mySQL that isn't running. Only MariaDB and Apache appear in services.msc, but I'm still able to access phpMyAdmin
Does anyone know what could be the issue? I'm just about at the stage of uninstalling WAMP and starting again, or maybe trying XAMPP instead.
UPDATE: I reinstalled WAMP entirely, and now I have a green icon in the taskbar, with all services running, however I am still not able to open the WAMP application as per the above question. Can I use WAMP without using the desktop client?

XAMPP Instalation problems with Mysql and phpmyadmin

I have been having a lot of issues with the proper installation of XAMM for local development. The installation looks OK when completed but then I run apache and works and when I try to access the phpMyAdmin panel it says that it can't connect because of port issues.
I have seen lots of "fixes" on blogs and videos suggesting this that and the other port changes but nothing works. So I want to re-install XAMPP from scratch but I have also had other installs that use "localhost" such as WAMP and BITNAMI. I have already deleted XAMPP, BITNAMI AND WAMP. But when I look in the ***Panel de control\Programas\Programas y características ** to uninstall programs I see that I have other mysql programs in there as in this image:
and my question is if it is safe to uninstall these programs highlighted here so as to clean my OS and be able to re-install XAMPP without further issues of "port x is in use by..."?
I am also aware that I must erase all folder remaining of WAMP XAMPP etc in programs file.

xamp: how I can get localhost page (with big xampp logo)

I have installed XAMPP and started Apache and MySQL, but when I try to enter local host it appears that
----- <Welcome to XAMPP for Windows 5.6.12
You have successfully installed XAMPP on this system! Now you can start using Apache, MySQL, PHP and other components. You can find more info in the FAQs section or check the HOW-TO Guides for getting started with PHP applications.
Start the XAMPP Control Panel to check the server status.> -----
the XAMPP s own dashboard page.. it seems every thing is ok Apache and MySQL are running but I cant get local host page. what have to do?
Try http://localhost/xampp
Perphaps the http server is blocked by your local firewall?

xampp Mysql not starting while set as service

I'm using xampp v1.8.1
While not installing Mysql and Apache as services, everything is ok and I can run both of them on default ports.
but when I install them as services only Apache runs normally. but Mysql is frozen at "Attempting to start MySQL service..." and there is no error in its log file and nothing in xampp control panel log.
there is no problem with port numbers because it can run on default port without the service checkbox checked
FYI my OS is: Windows Server 2008 SP2.
thanks
The problem solved by using the xampp installer instead of extracted zip archive. It seems that there is some problems with the config in the portable edition.

Can I keep MYSQL and WAMP Server running together?

At first, I use Struts 2 to develop a website in Java web technology. So I installed Apache Tomcat as the localhost server and MYSQL as the database (MYSQL here is the full application from mysql.com, not the packages like XAMPP or WAMP...)
But now I switch to learn a little bit about PHP so I install WAMP full package. When I start all services of WAMP and go to browser and type localhost, everything work fine
But when I go to localhost/phpmyadmin, it seems to connect to the old MYSQL application in my computer (what I've used in Java web). And then I restart computer and use MYSQL Workbench (in the MYSQL application), but now it connects to the database of WAMP package, and I can not connect to the old database (in Java web) anymore
The solution is remove WAMP but I need WAMP for PHP
So I just want to ask how can I use MYSQL application and WAMP package together (MYSQL application for Java web and WAMP package for PHP)?
Thank you and apology for my bad English!
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1 and open my (Configuration file) and then navigate to
[client]
port=3306
Change this to
[client]
port:3307
This will make phpmyadmin to run on 3306 and Java-Mysql to run on 3307
You can of course keep both XAMPP and WAMP running together keeping in mind that you have changed the default ports for either of it to some other ports rather than 80,443 and 3306, but sometimes it could create conflict as when you install some other third party softwares or enable certain services that run on port 80,443,3306.
The best alternative here would be to install one of the servers inside a virtual machine with network configured as "host-only-adapter" so that from the base machine you could access XAMPP/WAMP installed on the virtual machine by just pointing the ip-address of the virtual machine through a web-browser.
or,
If you want to run both XAMPP and WAMP together on the same machine but access only one of the servers at a time then you could go ahead installing both of them one after another. But, keep in mind that before installing the other server you have to completely stop all the services running from the XAMPP or WAMP control panel then quit the application. After this step you can go ahead installing the other server without changing any configurations or port numbers. This is because in this case we assumed that only one of the servers would be accessed at a time. Hence, before launching the other server one has to completely quit the application that is running currently by stopping all of it's services. If skype is installed then one has to change the default incoming connection ports to other than port 80 and 443.
Like mentioned above, if at all the intention is to access both servers up and running concurrently then taking advantage of a virtual machine would be the best to avoid conflicts and a long-term troubleshoots eventually.
If you messed up changing ports and config files then you could end up with the following error while trying to access phpmyadmin from XAMPP control panel:
**mysql said: Cannot connect: invalid settings. xampp**
note: while launching the servers , run it as administrator else some services will not start properly.
"I TRIED INSTALLING BOTH XAMPP AND WAMP ON WINDOWS 10 AS SUCH AS POINTED BY MANY THREADS I CHANGED THE DEFAULT PORTS FOR MYSQL & APACHE XAMPP AS IT WOULD CONFLICT WITH WAMP ALREADY INSTALLED ONLY ENDING UP UNABLE TO ACCESS PHPMYADMIN FROM XAMPP CONTROL PANEL. THEN REINSTALLED XAMPP WITHOUT CHANGING ANY CONFIGS OR PORTS. STOP THE WAMP SERVICES, QUIT THE APP AND THEN LAUNCH PHPMYADMIN FROM XAMPP CONTROL PANEL. AT LAST IT WORKED!. THE PROCESS LOOKS SHORT THOUGH WHEN IN REALITY IT TOOK ME COUNTLESS HOURS AND PAIN RESEARCHING ON THE WEB AND TESTING FOR A POSSIBLE SOLUTION UNTILL I CAME UP WITH THIS."
Hopes, this quick tips and guides would be helpful.
