Answer 2

If you are using Skpey exit and restart all service. Tip: on skype menu --> Tools --> Options --> advanced --> connection Disable "Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections"

Answer 3

When Windows is re-install or upgraded in-place, sometimes both the Apache and MySQL services are cleared out and the PATH environmental variable is reset.

1. Update the Path with the "bin" folders of Apache and MySQL.

2. Re-install the services...

If you are using WampDeveloper (I don't know which WAMP you are using), to install the services again it's (from the command line running as administrator):

Install Services:

httpd -k install -f "C:\WampDeveloper\Config\Apache\httpd.conf" -DSSL
mysqld --install Mysql --defaults-file="C:\WampDeveloper\Config\Mysql\my.ini"

The generic forms are:

Apache22\bin\httpd -k install
mysql5\bin\mysqld --install
