iis 7.5 - Can't use WAMP , port 80 is used by IIS 7.5

Question

I am trying to use WAMP on Windows 7, my WAMP is online, but when I open localhost I get the welcome page of IIS 7.5, although I have uninstalled IIS 7.5 from my PC!

Apache server test says that port 80 is used my Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0

MS Visual Studio 2010 was uninstalled a short while ago as well.

Answer 1

I had lot of problems with this error (Thanks to Microsoft -- Grrr!!)

Finally found the solution ..... I am sharing this solution

There are couple of ways to stop IIS 7.5

• Best one is:

  Open a CMD prompt (as Admin) and type this:

  iisreset /stop Here is a snapshot:

  

• Next option if you still cannot stop the IIS 7.5

  Try this video link.

• Final option is to change the port number as the last option httpd.conf

PS: Don't forget to restart the WAMP once fixing the errors

You can also

Just disable and stop the World Wide Web Publishing Service (This shuts down IIS forever) - - -(You need to use Run from the starting point in windows):

sc config w3svc start= disabled
net stop w3svc

If you don't want it disabled, but manual instead, replace disabled by demand (don't remove space).
