HTTP 404 error in wamp server

Nothing to worry for “HTTP 404 error in Wamp Server” problem. After install wamp server, when you run wamp server it’ll change green color icon in taskbar. But when you are going http://localhost/ it’ll show “HTTP Error 404”.

Causes for ‘HTTP 404 error in wamp server – page not found’:

This problem happening for Port issue. You may be install some services which one taking Port 80. Like,

Some Torrent Clients

...
So only ‘HTTP 404 error page not found’ happening.

Solution:

You have to change your wamp server Port number. Just do following simple steps,

1. Open httpd.conf file

After run your wamp server, left click taskbar Wamp green icon. Then go-to Apache->httpd.conf

(Otherwise open like: C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\conf )

2. Change Listen 80

There, Line number 46 having “Listen 80”.
Just replace 80 as “81” like
     Listen 81

3. Change ServerName localhost:80


And Line number 171 having “ServerName localhost:80”.
Just replace with same number as you used Line number 46. Like,
     ServerName localhost:81
And save this file.

4. Use URL

Just restart your Apache or Wamp then use URL like following,
http://localhost:81/ or
http://127.0.0.0:81/ ( here 127.0.0.0: is your wamp IP )

Notes:

1) Make sure your wamp running fine.

2) After change ’81’ it’s not working means just try with another number. like, 82, 8181,…

3) If you are using only ‘Skype’ from that list, better you having Nice SolutionS.
