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.
