Right click on Wamp--> tool--> apache section-->use a port other than 80
Now listen to
Ok so that means your system has Microsoft IIS installed or one of the other bits of MS technology that reports that signature, they are doing that on later versions of Windows for some reason.If you are not intending to use it you can uninstall it, it is not an integral part of windows so its being uninstalled wont effect normal operations of windows,and if you need to install it again later, it comes as part of the standard OS so you wont need to do anything perticularly clever.
So go to Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and FeaturesClick the 'Turn windows features on and off' link in the left hand menu.Wait for the list to load and then find 'Internet Information Services'
Un check the check boxes for the following items ( you may not see all of them ), and there may be others I done know about. You may have all of these or just some of these.
- IIS
- Web Deploy 2.0 (Web Deployment Agent Service)
- MS Sql Server Reporting service.
- BranchCache ( Windows 8.1 )
- SQL Server VSS Writer
List of possible service names not sure how up to date this is.
Tutorial on how to find what ports are in use on your system and what app is using them
Windows will then have a think for a while and then remove those applications, you will probably be asked to reboot to complete the uninstalls.Reboot anyway when the uninstalls are complete.
Then try wamp again.
Alternativeley just disable it/them.
Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
Find IIS in the list of services.Left Click that line and select PropertiesChange the 'Startup Type' to disabled.Ditto for the other possibilities if you see them.
There is more than one service that could be causing this. Try opening cmd or PowerShell (remember about administrator rights) and run:
NET stop HTTPIt will stop service that is running on port 80 and will display every service that was disabled to achieve that, simply disable that services for future and that should solve your issue.
