apache - Wamp server online but connection timed out to localhost -

i access localhost , phpmyadmin. i've installed wampserver so.

wampserver installed , when open goes green.

that takes time , have go apache -> service -> instal service go orange green works.

but till can't access local host. when accessing http://localhost/ or http://localhost/phpmyadmin or when pressing localhost @ wampserver menu, "this webpage not available, err_connection_timed_out".

i have been working days on fix no use. know lot of people had same problem here , asked many questions non of solutions written did help. did have iis using port 80 , made port empty. had skype using , fixed it.

now when test port 80 on wamp server gives me your port 80 not used..

my wamp icon green, internet on, firewall , antivirus turned off. i'm using windows 7, wamp server 2.5 64.

here http.confd file:

i need able complete work , connect database or open localhost. thanks

this sounds odd.

you should not need

 wampmanager -> apache -> service -> instal service 

ever unless doing odd makes me think maybe missing msvc runtime libraries required run version of apache.

look @ control panel -> programs , features these lines

for apache 2.4.9 need microsoft visual c++ 2012 redistributable

this image 32bit windows yours should have (x64) rather (x86) following name.

you can download runtime library from here

i think idea have ms c/c++ runtimes installed used program compiled microsofts c++ compiler. , if running 64bit windows having 32bit , 64 bit libraries idea, afterall windows64 run 32bit apps.

based on updated info

it appear has captured port 80.

first test if correct changing listening port used apache.

edit httpd.conf using wampmanager menus so

wampmanager -> apache -> httpd.conf 

now change these 2 lines

listen 0.0.0.0:80 listen [::0]:80 

to use port this

listen 0.0.0.0:8080 listen [::0]:8080 

restart apache or wampserver, if not running. if apache starts port 80 getting captured else

so run these 2 commands windows command window started using run administrator

netstat -anop tcp | find ":80" tasklist /fi "pid eq 999" /fo table /nh 

replacing 999 pid number previous command using port 80. pid last number on output command 1

this should report program using port 80

based on saying had iis installed

iis comes sorts of other stuff uses ms port sharing util allows these share port 80. unfortunately apache not use port sharing.

so have these , stop them well.

• web deploy 2.0 (web deployment agent service)
• ms sql server reporting service.
• branchcache ( windows 8.1 )
• sql server vss writer

this mat not complete list, ones know about.
