I am trying to install a WAMP on my laptop for work outside of my normal environment. My issue is i cannot get the WAMP to work and the icon is red, when i click on it i get an error.

I have done the following:
1. removed ALL items that may be on port 80, which included Skype and TeamViewer.
2. I installed Apache 1st, ran a check with my localhost and it displays "It Works"
3. Installed PHP from PHP's site
4. Installed MySQL's workbench with success.

I tried to install the 64 bit WAMP since im running a 64 bit OS on my laptop. This didnt work, so i installed EVERYTHING, and tried the same process but with the 32 bit, still no go. Suggestions on what to do or where to go. Ive searched all forums and web videos with no luck.

yes i also did unstall or set UAC to NONE, turned off my firewall and disabled the internet.

First thing to try would be to deactivate your firewall (windows firewall if you have it)

And if it doesn't work try uninstalling all thoses (apache, php, mysql, everything), reboot, and install it with wampserver WampServer, the web development platform on Windows - Apache, MySQL, PHP

ive tried that, ive installed wamp 1st but then apache wont work. As stated above i did turn off my firewall and turned off my UAC

Click on the wamp icon, apache, service, test port 80
What did it say?

You may want to check your services and see which are installed, and which are running.

whats a good way to check the PHP?? Also how do you suggest in checking MySQL? I can initiate the Workbench and it would appear that everything is running.

EDIT:

this (but where exactly would i place it??

<? 

phpinfo(); 

?>

now ive tried to everything from scratch and after i install apache i follow these tutorials to the letter and i cant get apache to work or PHP, could it be because im using 64 bit?? I unstalled apache and created a C:Apache folder and i get an error. I checked to make sure security was allowed for everything.

I could get my WAMP to work only with Apache but when i tried to access PHP, MySQL, or PHPmyadmin nothing would work. Do i need to be setting everything in the 32 bit side??

great news, i was able to get everything to work manually. Only issue now is trying to figure out how to get the pages to display when i click the folders from the localhost. They are all index.php files. What happens is i get the full directory instead of the page displaying but if i click on the index.php the page will load. Where do i go to add this as a feature to execute the site? Is it in the apache file or the php.ini file?

Do you mean to say that http://localhost/ gives you a file list, with index.php as an option?

yes, it gives me the full file directory, BUT im trying to make it where the code will execute the site once that folder is clicked into.
