WAMP - Port 80 problem

[Timothi]

Hi
I run WAMP server and whenever i try to start its services my ISP has decided in their wisdom to block port 80. When I try to get to my webserver from the internet I'm getting timeout errors have doubled checked everything at my end and its all working fine. Also checked my domain forwarding - Fine so the only option now is that the ISP has blocked port 80.

In WAMP is there anyway of changing the port number from 80 to say any other port which supports the same ?

Thanks to those who helps.

Are you sure that your ISP has done this? Changing to a different port is not a good solution, since incoming requests are most likely to be on port 80 anyway. Generally people won't understand about typing in the extra ":82" into a web address.

To diagnose your connection problem, go to a command prompt and type "telnet x.x.x.x 80", replacing x.x.x.x with your external IP address. Post the results here.

A month is way too much for basic domain hosting. That's what we would charge for two years!!! Or does that cover your broadband as well?

Hi

You need to check if your Apache is up and running do the following

Right click on My Computer and select "manage".
Next click on Services and Applications.
After that Click on Services.

And check if Apache is running.

Click on the WAMP server icon and from the menu under "config files" select "httpd.conf". A long text file will open up in notepad. In this file scroll down to the line that reads "Port 80" and change this to read "Port 8080", Save the file and close notepad. Once again click on the wamp server icon and select restart all services. One more change needs to be made before we are done. In Windows Explorer find the location where WAMP server was installed which is by Default "C:\Wamp".
