Hi friends, tonight is the first day I am installing WAMP 2.0 in my fresh installation of Windows 7 beta. Installation of WAMP was normal and fine. No any problem detected.
Hi friends, tonight is the first day I am installing WAMP 2.0 in my fresh installation of Windows 7 beta. Installation of WAMP was normal and fine. No any problem detected.
OOOOoops!
WAMP server is not starting.. MySQL has been started. Apache got sucked. I was searching throught the whole web including WAMP forum. No benifit. I am putting my all inspection lens into my OS to find the person who is blocking my Apache from start. First I checked in services for any IIS instance. No services like that. Then firewall. No. It is completely open for inbound and outbound for my localhost.
I checked the event lot. I could find the following message in event log.
The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> (OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 .
Then who was it?
It was Skype which I installed first. There is a compatibility issue between Windows7 and Skype. I am getting the warning message while startup of skype each time. So my guess was ok.
Windows 7 warning over Skype
Just closed it. Everything works fine ! Thanks friends!!
Update :
Please read the 5th comment of me to find the final solution for running skype & wamp 2.0 on windows7 parallely.
so… I need delete my skype installation? or there’s a worksround?
I really apreciated any solution… but thanks for the information, my guess was for that one.
Another solution recently found… install Skype 4.0 Beta 2 for Windows http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windows/beta/
I hope this help you all
Yes Carlos Estrello, any way you do not need to delete the skype. What you want to do is to quite the skype while you are running WAMP. So it will work fine.
And the solution what you found using skype 4.0 beta would be fine. Let me try it. Hope it should work and thanks for the tips.

Yes, I installed Skype 4.0 Beta. Still the same problem exists. So that is not the right solution.
So the next solution I found is.
Open the httpd.conf file
Find the following lines
#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen ——-:80
Listen 80
Comment the Listen 80 line and uncomment the #Listen ——-:80 and change it to following
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
#Listen 80
Now the problem solved. Use skype and WAMP together. No confliction.
Well thaknks for update the solution, but actually installed skype 4 beta and run WAMP 2 and I found not any troubles, but as said Muneer, I uncomment the #Listen line, (as we used to say in Mexico: “por las dudas”)
I’ll report any changes in this.
Thanks to you all
well Carlos Estrello,
May be no conflict on you installation with the specified IP. This commenting of port 80 and uncommenting of IP 127.0.0.1 with port 80 is to tell the apache server that only use port 80 of 127.0.0.1
Any way you comment is most helpful. please update if any progress. Thank you.
hi,
my solution is the next
enter to skype, click on tools, options, advance, and finally click in connection, where where you disable the box on port 80 and 443 as alternatives.
close skype, WAMP installed and ready. skype and Wamp work.
bye
Oh nice.. Cool tips Jalius. I never tried this. Thanks for your effort to discover this.
Have a good day!
Hello,
I have not skype installed on my machine however i have installed .net 2008.
I have checked all services but its the apacheservice will not started when i started it will give me error message that check microsoft vista compatibility problem
Any solution for that?
Thanks
Yes Keyur. Now I have installed Windows 7 RC , Visual Studio 2008 and WAMP 2.0 together. Still I did not face any problem. Everything goes fine. Any way you can check by adjusting your port number setting from httpd.conf file.
Please check this comment and other user comment. You will find the solutions.

Just works changing that lines in the file httpd.conf .
Thx for all Muneer!
HEY GUYS I HAVE SOLVED IT….!!!!
i have found a method to make Wamp server work on Windows 7 x64 easily. NO NEED to worry about Skype or configuring conf file and all, just do this….
step 1 : install a fresh copy of windows 7 x64 first on machine.
step 2 : after successful instal goto Control panel->Programs->Turn windows features on/off .
step 3 : now a window will come up with the default settings clicked. make sure these are unchecked completely ::
* Internet Information Services option
* Internet Information Services Hostable WebCore
* Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5.1(off completely)
* MSMQ server option
* RIP listener
* SNMP option
* TCPIP services(echo,daytime) option
* Telnet Client ,Server,TFTF client.
BY DEFAULT LEAVING “Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5.1″ OPTION REST OTHERS WERE TURNED OFF FROM BEFORE SO ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS JUST TURN OFF THE ABOVE OPTION.
Step 5 : NOW INSATLL WAMP SERVER !!!!
BINGO!!! it can now use port 80 easily as its not used by any other services!!!!
Great Shuddhashil, Thanks for the explanation.
I would try this way too.
Excellent.
actually last night i was trying alot on this. and then clicked that if i install a fresh copy and then after installation turn off IIS,RIP etc then we install Wamp. by this way port 80 is unoccupied from b4!! so wamp gets no problem at all !!
try avoiding installing Microsoft .net framework 3.5 in windows 7 , coz once u install it , it will use port 80 services and wamp server will not work anymore. as long as no dot.net 3.5 you wont be facing problem.
Hey Muneer even your process works perfectly !!!… so after installing newly windows 7 and then i did your process…. its going gr8…. thanks to u 2… cheers amigo
Hey Muneer got to say something….. as soon as you install Microsoft .net Framework 3.5 , wamp server cant operate anymore as port 80 is now ocupied by .net 3.5
i have checked this for both your and my process.. as long as we avoid .net 3.5 , wamp server will work perfectly (in both your and my process)… but problem comes when we install .net 3.5, so any suggestion?????
SO the solution i found is that when i am using Wamp, i turn off IIS and dotnet 3.5 from Windows Feature option , and when i am not using Wamp i turn on dotnet 3.5. In dis way i can use both dotnet 3.5 and wamp ( not simultaneous but at convinience whenevr whichevr we need). do you suggest anything?
Yes Shuddhashil . As you found, it is a problem of port confliction. when 2 different process are trying to allocate same port, it get exception. It is the reason that we get fail to work WAMP. Any way, there is option to use different port number for our webserver. We can also configure our Apache server to work in port 8080. So that this problem will not occur any more. I guess it should work. Have you ever tried in this way?
The Wamp 2.0i and change the line [ listen 80 ] to [ listen 127.0.0.1:80 ] solved the problem.
LOL, that fixed it for me. Thank you. I was wondering, why the heck is apache not starting!! Then you said Skype and bingo, it started up. Thanks man.
