Wamp server startup error "-can not startup [Ephase error]"
php, wamp
Solution
If you're installing WAMP 2.5 and above, you have to make sure that you uninstall any previous version first. Backup your `www` folder, `php.ini`, `my.ini` and `httpd-vhosts.conf` files.
Then try follow these steps in order to remove the old services:
- Launch WAMP server, disregard that it doesn't light green.
- Click on the tray icon, then: Stop All Services.
- Tray icon -> Apache -> Service -> Remove Service
- Tray icon -> MySQL -> Service -> Remove Service
Run command prompt (cmd.exe) and execute the following commands:
sc delete wampapache
sc delete wampmysqld
Then perfom these steps:
- Tray icon -> Apache -> Service -> Install Service
- Tray icon -> MySQL -> Service -> Install Service
Also make sure you're running WAMP Apache and MySQL server (each setting can be found in corresponding ini file) on other ports if your default port 80 is used for another server and 3306 is used for another database server.
Problem
After I download the WAMP Server, a windows pop out stating: The configuration file contains a syntax error on line 1235;[EParseError]parameter "service "specifies an unknown service . I have no idea what type of this problem. Did anyone facing this type of problem? How can I solve this type of problem?
