Installing Wamp server Problem at localhost

Hello Sabina Magalona, This problem is faced by most of the user and the solution is to stop the service of SKYPE when using WAMP. The issue of these two with each other is they both are using the same port numbers for the execution of the service.

And if one application is using the port number the other will not work on the same port number as simple as that. If it doesn't work then you probably need to uninstall SKYPE and re-install it after the installation of WAMP server. You can see for yourself after installing the application that which port number are they using and there may be an option for changing the default port number for the application.

Hope this helps you sorting out your WAMP server issue. Thank you
