reported Windows 7 Professional SP1 (64-bit) with Apache failing to start and port‑related errors; earlier replies from , , and correctly flagged a port/conflict issue. The checklist below turns that diagnosis into repeatable troubleshooting and safe workarounds.

Confirm which process is using TCP/80 (run an elevated Command Prompt):

netstat -aon | findstr :80
tasklist /fi "PID eq <pid>"

Note the PID and process name. If the owner is a service (svchost or a named service), inspect Services (services.msc) for World Wide Web Publishing Service / Web Deployment Agent Service or any web/HTTP listener and stop/disable it if not needed. Some user apps historically bind to 80; identify them by name before removing.

If freeing port 80 isn’t possible, change Apache’s listen port (backup the config first). In Apache’s httpd.conf:

Listen 8080
ServerName localhost:8080

Restart Apache and test at . Remember to update virtual hosts and any firewall rules for the new port.

Other practical checks: run Wamp/XAMPP as Administrator, inspect Apache’s error log and Windows Event Viewer for exact failure messages, and verify the required Visual C++ redistributables are installed for the specific WAMP/XAMPP build. Temporarily disable antivirus/firewall only for testing. Back up any config files before edits and avoid running multiple web servers simultaneously.

These steps resolve the majority of Apache start failures on 64‑bit Windows 7. If Apache still refuses to start, extract and compare the exact error lines from Apache’s error log or the Event Viewer to guide the next diagnostic step.

Hi, can wamp or xampp server work on zinox 64bit?

Is it window? Another words what is the operating system?

Both wamp and xampp work on window.

What is your OS?

I believe that if it is windows, you just simply download it and follow the installation. I am not familiar with "Zinox".

I am not familiar with "Zinox".

It's a computer technology (product) company it's based in Nigeria. I never heard of it til now.

It should work in windows.

Thanks guys. Let me be specific: Zinox is a computer company based in lagos, they do a lot liasing with Nigeria Communications Commission on many of their products.

I am now using thier (Zinox) Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1, 64-bit.

The Challenge I have is, none of Wamp or Xampp that I have installed is working correctly, especially Apache service not running. The error message i get sometimes talks of Port 80 and one other Port already in use.

If any one is using same product he should try if it works he/she then can help email me the wamp or Xampp setup that is working; or, if you know how to free such ports like Port 80 so that these servers can use (in case that is why they are not working).

Thanks, waiting any urgent help pls.

Most likely because either IIS or Skype is running.
