wamp server does not start: Windows 7, 64Bit

Question

I am trying to install wamp server (following is the exact setup name) on windows 7, 64Bit OS. But it never starts, icon stays in orange color meaning some services did not

Answer 1

I navigated to C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\bin run httpd and the apache (pink and white icon) loads into the system tray. The orange W also turned green.

The apacheapache service wasn't running, it wasn't on the services list (start > type services) which is why it's orange not green.

Solution: A re-install worked for me.

My version is: WAMPSERVER (64Bits & PHP 5.4) 2.4 Apache : 2.4.4 MySQL : 5.6.12 PHP : 5.4.12 PHPMyAdmin : 4.0.4 SqlBuddy : 1.3.3 XDebug : 2.2.3 http://www.wampserver.com/en/
