Apache – wamp server does not start: Windows 7, 64Bit

apachewampwindows-7-x64

I am trying to install wamp server (following is the exact setup name) on windows 7, 64Bit OS. But it never starts, icon stays in orange color meaning some services did not start.

wampserver2.2e-php5.3.13-httpd2.2.22-mysql5.5.24-x64

I did not find any solution.

No skype, port 80 is not in use.

In windows services, when I try to start wampapache service manually, it throws following error:

Windows could not start the wampapache service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond ot the start or control request in a timely fashion.

apache_error.log is empty.

Things use to work fine in windows XP.

My solution to fix that problem was the following:

Start > search > cmd.exe (Run as administrator)

Inside the Command Prompt (cmd.exe) type:

cd c:/wamp/bin/apache/ApacheX.X.X/bin
httpd.exe -e debug

**Note that the ApacheX.X.X is the version of the Apache wamp is running.

This should output what the apache server is doing. The error that causes Apache from loading should be in there. My problem was that httpd.conf was trying to load a DLL that was missing or was corrupted (php5apache2_4.dll). As soon as I overwrote this file, I restarted Wamp and everything ran smooth.

Android – Disable activity slide-in animation when launching new activity

The FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION flag works fine for disabling the animation when starting activities.

To disable the similar animation that is triggered when calling finish() on an Activity, i.e the animation slides from right to left instead, you can call overridePendingTransition(0, 0) after calling finish() and the next animation will be excluded.

This also works on the in-animation if you call overridePendingTransition(0, 0) after calling startActivity(...).

Php – WAMP Server Apache won’t start

I've solved this on last week!!i hope it's help you. If you are on Windows, You go to

"Control Panel" >> "System And Security" >>  "Administrative Tools" >> "Component Services" >> "Services (LOCAL)"

Now, since you are using WAMP and not IIS you should disable the "World Wide Web Publishing Service" and the "Web Deployment Agent Service". You are good to go.

If this doesn't work you probably have Skype using Port 80 (if you actually have Skype). (If you have IIS installed you should also disable it. But if you don't have it installed you shouldn't worry!)
