WAMP server startup error: "No tray icon was specified"

Question

I get an error when I try to load WAMP Server:

The configuration file contains a syntax error on line 0; [EParseError] No tray icon was specified. Please assign a tray icon by using on the of the Trayicon directives in the [Config] section.

What am I supposed to do? It won't load WAMPServer.

Answer 1

• Go to the wamp/scripts folder
• Open console
• run: php refresh.php

This should recreate wampmanager.ini (requires wampmanager.tpl file in wamp folder.

Taken from http://sourceforge.net/p/wampserver/feature-requests/10/#750b)

Tested only in wampserver 2.4.

Working wampserver 3.2.3 as well

Answer 2

Same thing happened to me after a Windows update. Some of the solutions above haven't worked for me (as of 2017) but here's what solved it without having to reinstall Wamp.

Head over to WampServer's repo, scroll down to "Tools" and download wampmanager.ini repair. Run the .exe, open wampini_repair.bat, and you're golden!
