If any of you is getting a problem that WAMP icon doesn’t turn green follow these steps:
- Do left click on WAMP server icon ->Apache ->Service-> Test port 80

- Stop or uninstall that application
- Exit and restart wamp.
Usually Skype or teamviewer use port 80 and you can’t simply uninstall them so do this:
- Click the WAMP server icon > Apache >
httpd.conf. - Then change the line
Listen 80toListen 8080or any port you want. - Save the file in C:/wamp.
- Exit and restart wamp.
