In windows 10 wampserver has some problem in starting its services. Normally if you try to type localhost in the server it will not show anything. Also the W icon for wamp server will be shown inactive or Yellow colour.
The problem is that in Windows 10 IIS service is automatically installed with the OS. So the port number 80 which the Wampserver is using is reserved by Windows IIS. So wampserver will not start.
Solution
1) Click on the wamp tray icon on the left
2) Click on Apache->
3)Click on httpd.conf file
4) Inside it their is a line like
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
Replace it with these lines :-
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 8080
5)Look for another line like:-
ServerName localhost:80
6) Replace it with
ServerName localhost:8080
7)Now Restart all services, You can notice that wamp icon is changes to green.
8) Now go to browser and visit localhost:8080/
default wamp page will open.
9) But for accessing Phpmyadmin database, if we go to localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/ it will not work. It will show forbidden access.
10) Navigate to wamp/ alias/ and open phpmyadmin.conf file.
11) Replace these lines
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
with
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
11) Now navigate to localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/
it will work fine.
