Weird WAMP error

[z3r0aCc3Ss]

I as browsing through Apache modules by left clicking on green WAMP icon->Apache->Apache Modules and mistakenly I pressed "m" key. And that green icon turned orange and it never turned green again. I tried restarting my machine, restarted all WAMP services, changing port number; but nothing worked.
I had to uninstall WAMP.

I uninstalled WAMP, and re-installed it on same drive (D), still, orange icon. When I installed it on different drive (E), it worked. Can anyone tell me why such weird things happening?
I want it back on my D drive.

hm, post the error log, should be in /wamp/logs...

Apparently, this issue has been posted a couple of years ago:

Code: Select all

How do I post the error log? I uninstalled it.

you can post it here:
http://code.suck-o.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

if the logs have been removed by the deinstall simply install it again, try to run it, and then check the log.
I think running it by httpd.exe -t should also give you some debug output....

I solved the error myself
In httpd.conf file, Listen 127.0.0.1:80 was changed to Listen 0.0.0.0:80 and Listen [::1]:80 was changed to Listen [::0]:80

Now, I'm wondering why it happened? I'm thinking of repeating the procedure again which caused this error and see what happens now

EDIT:
Ok, I followed the same process again. When all was working fine,
Left click on green WAMP icon --> Apache --> Apache modules and pressed "m" key (or you can press any key).
Immediately green icon turned orange. I checked the httpd.conf file again, and it was all OK.
I uninstalled WAMP, and installed again, still orange icon. I then checked the httpd.conf file and inside of it there was 0.0.0.0:80 and [::0]:80
Changed it to 127.0.0.1:80

All working fine.

Don't know why I did this, but it worked

That's interesting as there really shouldn't be anything wrong with using 0.0.0.0:80 for Listen as 0.0.0.0 only means the server is using any available IP address of the computer (instead of only the loopback), same with [::0]:80 (IPv6) - tested it myself on my local machine and it's working fine. The problem is probably somewhere else, are you accessing your server from http://127.0.0.1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or http://localhost" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; in the browser?
