Hi all,
I recently installed 64 bit WAMP 3.1.9 on Windows 8.1 and have been having trouble with it. From the beginning, I noticed that the WAMP icon was yellow and that only 2 of 3 services were running. I followed the suggestion of stopping and starting the services, plus restarting the computer (for good measure), multiple times, and nothing changed. I was able to use MariaDB independently and went ahead and set up some databases and users via the command line, so I guessed that the problem was on the Apache/PHP side. To verify this, I wrote a file called “test.php,” put it in the www folder, and tried to pull up localhost/test.php in my web browser. No luck. After checking the PHP error log, I saw this:
