when i download WAMP on my pc, the icon is yellow...meaning i cant be able to activate the local server. i have been on the class sessions, but i dont seem to get a straight answer to how to solve this out. how do i correct this yellow color on the task bar?

Hi MW,

Left click on the WAMP icon >> Apache >> Service >> Test port 80 >> what message do you get there?

Kind regards,
Nick

THIS IS THE MESSAGE IT GIVES::

Your port 80 is actually used by:
Information not available <might be skype>.
press Enter to exit...

Hi MW,

Are you running Skype? If so, quit out of it or change it so that it uses a port other than port 80 (Tools >> options >> advanced >> connection >> use port 443)

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Nick

Thanks Nick.. I changed the Skype incoming port to 443. it worked well.
thanks for the help. sorted on that...!!!

You're welcome, MW! I'm glad to be of help! :)

Kind regards,
Nick
