WAMP server, localhost is not working

Tags:

localhost

wamp

My WAMP server localhost was broken when my Windows 7 updates automatically.

My port 80 is already used by IIS server.

I searched on website, many people suggested that I need to change the port 80 to port 8080 or something difference.

I updated Listen:80 to Listen:8080 and ServerName localhost to ServerName localhost:8080.

But it is still not working and leaves me a blank page.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

If you have skype installed, close it completely.

If you have sql server installed, go to:

Control panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

And stop SQL Server Reporting Services

Port 80 must be free now. Click on Wamp icon -> Restart All Services
