Hello Friends,

I am trying to install the WampServer on my computer for some kind of Web Development, I have downloaded WampServer 2.0 and installed it,by the time of installation it doesn't give any kind of error,When I launch the WampServer some services related to Apache server could not be started and asking to freeze the Port 80,so the problem is that Where could I see whether Port 80 is acquired or Free so that I can allocate the Apache services to it.

Please Reply as early as possible,This is urgent.

You can check your webserver on HTTP port 80 with the following telnet command:

Open a command line and type

telnet_www.your-server.com_80

(Note:Whereever underscore is given consider it as space)

If your server is online a test connection will be established on port 80 (HTTP). Now you can type a GET command. The server will answer with an output like this:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>501 Method
Not Implemented</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Method Not Implemented</H1>
get to /index
.html not supported.<P>
Invalid method in request get<P>
</BODY></HTML>

Connection to host lost.

Well I would suggest you to go through the instruction about installing Wampserver 2 on various information sites.
Let us know if you have any particular problem understanding any term or any clause.

Port 80 is that particular port which is most vulnerable to:-

711 trojan (Seven Eleven), AckCmd, BlueFire, Cafeini, Duddie, Executor, God Message, Intruzzo , Latinus, Lithium, MscanWorm, NerTe, Nimda, Noob, Optix Lite, Optix Pro , Power, Ramen, Remote Shell , Reverse WWW Tunnel Backdoor , RingZero, RTB 666, Scalper, Screen Cutter , Seeker, Slapper, Web Server CT , WebDownloader.

Moreover during Windows Product Activation (WPA) uses the following ports:

PORT Usage
80 for HTTP
443 for HTTPS

NOTE: WPA will issue Error 32777 if it can't connect to the Product Activation server.

NOTE: WPA will issue Error 32777 if you computer's date or time is incorrect.

I hope this will help.
