If you are getting problem with port 80 then check the following...
You get the following messages:
Test port 80
Your Port 80 is actually used by: Information not available (might be Skype).
Install Service
Cannot install the Apache service, please stop this application and try again.
Before you try these (as I did):
* disable Skype.
* disable NIS (Norton Internet Security).
* disable IIS (Internet Information Service).
* change your Firewall settings (Norton, McAfee, Windows, ...).
* turn-off all services that could use port 80.
* change the string "Listen 80" in the httpd.conf file to something else.
* re-install WAMP without the PHP4 add-on.
* re-install WAMP without the MySQL add-on.
* re-install WAMP alone many times.
* re-boot Windows many times.
Check your ".conf" files.
It turned out that in my case, the problem was simply related to a typo in a file for one of my aliases. I had forgotten a "#" at the beginning of a comment line.
On one line I had this:
main section
instead of this:
#main section
It is the missing octothorpe - or pound key (#) - in that .conf file that stopped the service and made the "test port 80" option fail.
I looked all over the Web and didn't find anything (document or post) that relates these specific issues to "typos" in configuration files. So I hope this is the solution to your problem.
