I am trying to install wampserver on a win7-32bit. The installation goes smoothly but the icon doesn't turn green. It stays orange saying "Server online". I've trying different solutions nothing worked: -changed apache port to 8080. -turn off IIS and other stuff - even tried to instal xampp server but that didn't work either.
What else is there to do? Thanks.

If the icon remains red or orange, it means that one or more components are not working as they should. Apache, MySQL and PHP all have error logs that are accessible from the WampServer menu and it's a good idea to check those if there's any problem but here are a couple of things you can also try.
Right click on My Computer icon -> Properties Go to Device Manager Click on View menu and chooseShow hidden devices Now from the list choose Non-Plug and Play devices Double click HTTP -> go to Driver For Type choose Disabled Restart your computer After your computer boots up you should be able to start up WAMP server.
if you have something listening on port 80 with pid 4 then that can cause wamp tray icon to stay red, and it may be this service causing it.
I have had this issue before and it turned out that Skype was interferring with port 80. So you may have to look at your system to see if you have another application utilizing this port.
Anyway under Skype, to change this setting it was: Tools->Options->Advanced->Connection->Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections. Untick this, restart Skype, restart wamp.

If you install WAMPServer before you install the C++ Redistributable, it won't work even after you've installed it because you will miss a critical step in the installation where you tell Windows Firewall to let Apache run.
