WampServer can’t start Apache

Situation and Problem
WampServer can’t start Apache and the windows service (wampapache) can’t be started manually.

Solution
Make sure no other webserver is running.
Check [WampServer context menu] > [Apache] > [Service] > [Test Port 80].

If Visual Studio, WebMatrix or anything similar is installed, IIS could be active. To really get rid of IIS remove the IIS Windows Feature, the obvious named programs and all “Web Deployment” programs.
