shows a blank page. any help please?

Answer 1

I too have the same but i changed the listen port of wamp server to 5050 its works for me and we use skype at port 80 itself. for changing the listen port go to the folder were the wamp server installed. if you are using the windows go to the following path.

C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf in that folder find the httpd.conf file open that file any editor and change the listen port 5050.

#Listen 12.34.56.78:5050

Listen 0.0.0.0:5050

Listen [::0]:5050

Answer 2

I had the same problem and I successfull solved it.

First I can saw only blank screen. When I click on Wampserver icon then it show me information about "Server is Offline". I click "Put Online" and server changed to online.

Next, I closed Skype and through Wampserver icon I check that 80 port is free:

Wampserver icon -> Apache -> Service -> Test Port 80

At this time my browser showing me webpage about can't open localhost.

Next, I install apache service: Wampserver icon -> Apache -> Service -> Install Service

After installed I start service: Wampserver icon -> Apache -> Service -> Start/Resume Service

If service start correctly then menu option "Start/Resume Service" is shadow.

Now my webbrowser correctly show localhost webpage.

Additionally in my Skype, I unchecked option "Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections".

The cause on my server was a php.ini error on line 107. https://stackoverflow.com/a/32901489/2407742

I commented out line 107 because it was unnecessary and restarted WAMP.

Answer 4

I had the same problem. It was skype, I had already unchecked the "use port 80" box under skype options but apparently skype was still running on port 80. I followed the advice at http://ye5.blogspot.com/2011/01/wamp-server-localhost-shows-blank-page.html and it showed that skype was the problem and how to force the process to stop running. Then wampserver worked beautifully.

Answer 5

Same issue, here is the solution !

Cause :

Another program (Skype but not only) is using the port80 (which is by default the one used by wamp). You can see it typing the following command "netstat -ano" and looking what is on "localadress 0.0.0.0.80", if you want to see the concerned program open, note the number at the end of the line (4 for example), then open taskmanager, services, and see who is on PID 4.

Solution :

Let's change wamp port to 81 !

Change wamp port from 80 to 81
