Localhost does not open on windows 7 64 bit-WAMP Installed.

Hi

I need some help. I have windows 7 installed in my 64 bit notebook. I had installed WAMPP2 server and it was working fine. But Yesterday I uninstalled it and installed XAMPP. After that I again uninstalled XAMPP and re installed WAMP. But the problemis when I type http://localhost in the address bar of browser the page does not open. Also, phpmyadmin does not open. I have uninstalled and re installed it several times, but no change. What to do? Please help me.

 

same problems like several times ago.
I think, you need to change port to 85.
The port 80 has already use.

 

I am new to this field. Can you please tell me how to change the port?

 

Just find and Open httpd.conf file in your text editor.
Change port 80 to port 85.

 

one more, now you have to use http://localhost:85 in your browser. Don't forget it.

 

after that, you must restart your xampp.

 

I opened the file and used ctrl+F to find "80". 3 results came and I changed port number 80 to 85. Still the same problem. Browser does not open anything when I type http://localhost:85 .

 

I re started all the services in wamp but no use!

 

Hey,, you only need to change

Listen 80 to Listen 85

 

Yes, I did that now. But no change.Still the same problem :-(

 

Problem not yet solved!!!Any other solution?Can anybody help me out?

 

I figured out the problem myself! I had IDM installed which used the same port. After I un-installed IDM, it worked fine.

Thanks everyone for help!
