Wmapserver Icon is permanently red (2 replies)

My wampserver icon went permanently red after I had done the following :

1. Itried to send emails using the PHP mail function in wampser but I got the following error message-
mail() failed to connect to mailserver at &quot,localhost&quot, port 25,verify your &quot-----
2. I then downloaded PHPMailer from the github website.
3. Following the download instructions, I uncommented the following line in the Apache httpd.cof file by removing the # at its beginning
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
4. I also copied the following files from the dowloaded PHPMailer into the the folder I was using for php scripts to send out emails in the Komodo IDE:
PHPMailerAutoload.php
class.phpmailer.php
class.smtp.php
5.I also enabled i.e. pu a tick against each of these lines in the PHP extensions folder :
php_openssl
php_sockets
I could not enable the php_smtp extension because I could not find it.

After all this, the wampserver icon turned permanently red.
6. When I comment out the LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so line in the Apache httpd.cof file, the icon turns green again and wampserver works again but will not send out emails.
Help to sort out this problem would be appreciated.
