I have been developing a php project and the wamp server was seems
working fine but suddenly it stops working and i don't know what to do
because when i check its status it says server online and green icon is also
showing but it just does not work whenever i run .php files, Mr. browser
just write it down as i did in notepad++ but before some days it was working
fine, please help me I'm kinda stuck?
I also want to mention that in the mean while I installed tomcat server for some other work is it anything to do with fault because i'm pretty sure both operating on differnet port numbers
use <?php instead of <?or left click wamp > php > settings > short_open_tags
and make sure you are running your scripts through localhost and not just opening the php file in the browser

If you're definitely viewing the script through your MAMP setup (if your URL bar starts with http:// instead of file://) and it is showing the contents of the PHP file instead of executing the script, it sounds like Apache is running fine, but PHP-FPM is the issue or a misconfiguration between the two. Apache should detect it is a PHP script and ship it to the PHP-FPM process, accept a response then ship it to your browser.
I would recommend checking PHP-FPM logs first. All logs are in MAMP/logs - scroll to the bottom of each one for latest entries. Ensure the service is running as expected and logging hits when Apache serves a .php file. PHP-FPM may be using a socket file (which can hit permission problems) or on a network port (which can be in use/require admin privileges/etc). Otherwise check your config files, or re-install MAMP for fresh config files.
If Apache cannot start, common reasons are;
The port is in use by another application
The port is a low number and you do not have administrator privileges to use that port
Switching from wired to wireless / switching network adapters / changing hostname, etc
Apache is already running, or Apache thinks it is
You must sign out from Skype it'll occupied the port of Apache or you should turn down the server and then restart you pc and turn it on. It will work fine.

I got some trouble with my xampp on Win 10, as so many have had before me...
It's the same old port problem with skype and IIS.
I used to quit skype and stop the world wide web publishing service, but am sick of having to go through the whole ordial every time I start xampp.
so yesterday I changed the ports for my apache server and ecerything worked fine.
started up today and boom...localhost couldn't find my pages.
So I checked for port problems in xampp...there were none! apache was up and running(as were mysql server and filezilla). no error messages, nothing.
I resetted the ports to 80 and 443. killed of skype and the iis and everything worked fine again. Now whenever I change the ports, it will not run.
I did everything according to here:
How to change XAMPP apache server port?
(I changed the ports in httpd.conf, httpd-ssl.conf and in service and port settings )
I just don't get it. why it won't run with changed ports(and yes I checked the ports for being empty).
atm I have changed the port 80 -> 8024
and port 443 -> 1337 (no matter what I change this port to it always throws bad request)
8024 works fine. I can get to the dashboard via localhost:8024
but localhost:1337 gives me a bad request.
any suggestions, or similar encounters?
For now will have to continue using standart ports and kill of the 2 processes, but I really wanna skip that in the future.
I used port 80->8024
and port 443->448 yesterday and it worked fine...really weird...
Ok so that means your system has Microsoft IIS installed or one of the other bits of MS technology that reports that signature, they are doing that on later versions of Windows for some reason.
If you are not intending to use it you can uninstall it, it is not an integral part of windows so its being uninstalled wont effect normal operations of windows, and if you need to install it again later, it comes as part of the standard OS so you wont need to do anything perticularly clever.
So go to Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features
Click the 'Turn windows features on and off' link in the left hand menu.
Wait for the list to load and then find 'Internet Information Services'
Un check the check boxes for the following items ( you may not see all of them ), and there may be others I done know about. You may have all of these or just some of these.
IIS
Web Deploy 2.0 (Web Deployment Agent Service)
MS Sql Server Reporting service.
BranchCache ( Windows 8.1 )
SQL Server VSS Writer

Windows will then have a think for a while and then remove those applications, you will probably be asked to reboot to complete the uninstalls.
Reboot anyway when the uninstalls are complete.
Then try XAMPP again
So I installed XAMPP and it worked fine at first (At least I think so. I typed in localhost and got the XAMPP page).
I have the files for the site I'm working on in my Dropbox folder so they stay up to date across my computers. I was looking for a way to point XAMPP to my working folder so I didn't have to work in htdocs and then move it back to Dropbox.
I found this thread:
Make XAMPP/Apache serve file outside of htdocs
And I followed cmcculloh's answer on how to set up a virtual host.
As the last step in his instructions said, I restarted Apache.
Except it won't start.
I click Start in the control panel and it says 'Starting apache service...'
....and it sits there
After Googling about it I saw tips like disable make sure port 80 is clear and disable anti-virus. And use 'netstat -nab' in a cmd prompt to check if something is using port 80
Well AvastSVC.exe is using port 80. What I don't get is why it worked fine after I installed it, with Avast running.... But it wasn't until I tried to restart that suddenly Avast is getting in the way.... So I'm not so sure that that's the problem.
Maybe it's something I did when I was trying to set up the virtual host?
I just want to test php without uploading to a web server D=
Edit:
Oh and btw, I closed Avast and made sure the process was gone but it still shows up under 'netstat -nab'. I looked under Services and there is still an Avast service but it won't let me stop it =S
If this is just for testing/learning/development purposes, perhaps you could try using EasyPHP and set an alias to the Dropbox folder with the HTML files within. Also, I recommend you use port 8080 for development, not port 80.
Hi I want to start learning PHP and MySql and also polish my knowledge of Javascript witch is very limited at the moment having only use jQuery and knowing only the core sintax of the language.I choose to read Learning PHP MySQL and Javascript witch seemed to fit all my needs.
Having always had bad luck when installing something new I immediately hit a dead end with XAMPP 1.7.7.
The server runs corectly when is first installed and I can stop MySQL and Apache from running from the control panel.But if close the control panel and reopen it I get and error.
If when it was first opened I left apache and Mysql opened I get the error Apache Service not stopped [-1] the same goes for MySQL.If the services were close I get the same error that says apache service can't start same for MySQL.
I have tryed multiple instalations and the same thing happens.
I first tought I will install it and live them open so I can start working but sadly it didn't work corectly or I don't know how to run a PHP script corectly.
Here's what I did:
I opened PHPStorm and pasted this little scripped with a PHP extension :
<?php
echo "Hello world";
?>
After that I tried to run it but I get the error "PHP interpretor is not installed".
Shouldn't it have worked if the apache server was running?
You should wait after you stopped apache or mysql to let them clean things up. If you want to force them to end their processes, you can kill httpd.exe and mysqld.exe from task manager and then try starting it from xampp control panel.
Could it be that you are running Skype on the same machine? Its a known issue where Skype takes control over port 80 in order to become a supernode in the Skype network.
Go to Skype and in the "Tools" menu locate subsection "Advanced", option "Connection". There you'll find an option saying "Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections". Uncheck it, click "Save" and try restarting your server.
What OS are you using? Are you using the XAMPP control panel?
In windows press
Start
Run
Type "Services.msc"
Find the "Apache" service
Right click and stop
I find i get this error if i start the apache service without the control panel but try to stop it with the control panel.
I am new to Windows IIS and I need to run a php/mysql application on it. For local php development on windows, I have found WAMP to be the easiest.
But can WAMP be used in this case instead of installing php and mysql separately ?
This needs to be done on an ec2 Windows 2003 instance. So far, I have already tried installing WAMP and setting up apache to listen on port 8080 instead of 80. From inside the remote desktop, both IIS and WAMP work properly in parallel on their respective ports.
However, when I try to connect from another computer using the ip address http://184.**.***.***, IIS works fine serving the default web page but cannot connect to apache on http://184.**.***.***:8080.
Is it possible to use WAMP at all for this purpose and if yes, would there be any disadvantages in using it instead of installing php/mysql seperately ?
Edit :
I dont know if this is a problem of blocked 8080 port. To verify this I stopped IIS and configured apache to listen to 80. Even then http://184.**.***.*** doent show the WAMP homepage. IS anything needed to be configured in IIS ?
RESOLVED :
Added the port 80 in Windows Firewall Exceptions and it started working.
Also, its necessary to select "Put Online" in the WAMP tray otherwise it gives a forbidden response as suggested by some answers.
Thanks
I haven't used EC2 in this way before, but broadly speaking, I'd encourage you to use the same server for development and production environments if at all possible - the installation effort can be a bit of a pain, but it's nothing compared to developing an app locally and then finding an IIS configuration issue causes it to break on production.
This approach also lets you keep your PHP configurations in source code control - php.ini and any modules you're using - and automatically deploy them alongside your application; again, forgetting to deploy the correct PHP.ini usually makes your application do crazy things...
So, your choices appear to be:
- switch off IIS and have WAMP listen to port 80. Not sure WAMP is designed for production level traffic, but in the past, I've run low-traffic public websites in this way.
- work out why port 8080 is blocked, and if it can be unblocked. This would still require you to run your website on an unusual port, which makes for ugly and hard-to-communicate URLs.
- install PHP on your IIS instance. One benefit of having installed WAMP is that MySQL should already be up and running, and the basic PHP installation should also be there; getting PHP to run on IIS is no longer a dark art ([http://php.iis.net][1])
For my money, I'd go for the latter option...IIS is a production quality server, and it's clearly what Amazon want you to use in this instance.
Of course, running IIS on your development environment may be a problem.
Have you put the server online? Think it is offline by default, meaning it's only accessible from your local machine. It's an option in the systray menu to put it online.
If I remember well, there is an option "go public" (or "put online") on the system traya icon of wamp.
This option modifies the httpd.conf to authorize public access.
You should give a try.
On a side note, you can make php work with IIS. This is another option to help you manage your server. (Mysql and Php have to be installed separatly but, this is very easy to do as far as I remember :) )
I have downloaded some files which have .php extension.
Then I installed WAMMP server on my, but I am not able to view those files. I have also turned off the IIS from the add/remove windows program. Still, I am not able to view the pages.
I'm presuming that by WAMP, you are using Apache as your server? You need to find your www folder in C:\WAMP\www and place files in there.
Here is the wamp server I use.
http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php
I have also used this one in the past.
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
Click on the wamp server icon on your taskbar, go to Apache and you will find Test Port 80 in there. That will show whether port 80 is available or not. If not, go to httpd.conf file which is in the Apache menu of wamp server, find line Listen 80. Change 80 to 88. Restart All Services in wamp and that should work. Let me know if that helped.
How are you trying to view the pages? Why exactly are you "not able" to do it? Are you aware that PHP files are basically programs that run on a server, and you view their output using a web browser? Assuming that you have actual PHP files (rather than their output) and all the resources that they need, you will have to put them into the source folder that WAMP is configured to display, and then you will be able to view them by going to http://localhost in your web browser.
in the run put mmc - on the consol file / add /remove item choose internet information service and under website turn off the iis
if you installed in the past wamp/mysql selete all and reinstall only the wamp
Click on the wamp server icon in the taskbar and test "localhost".
If that works, click the "phpinfo()" link on the page.
If that works too, your wamp server is working and you should be able to execute php files.
If not, you need to make sure it is installed properly and started properly.
