WAMP icon in the lower right hand corner of my windows desktop is yellow or red.

 

 

If you installed the Web server WAMP for windows and in the lower right hand corner of your screen, the WAMP icon is not fully white, and is yellow or red, that means one or all services are not properly running. As a result Data Center Audit will notwork because DCA will not run without a web server.
The first thing you must do is isolate which service is not starting. Click on the WAMP icon in the lower right hand corner of your screen (it looks like a white tachometer). Then look under Apache and MySQl and determine which services are not started.
Click on the WAMP icon and attempt to start the services. If that does not work, then you probably have a port conflict. By default the apache portion of WAMP uses port 80. Go to your control panel, then services and see if you have another web service already running. If so, then stop the conflicting service. For example, if you are running Windows Internet Information Services (IIS) or another web server then wamp may not start.
Similarly, if you have another database installed then MySQL may not start and as a result the icon may not be running.? By default mysql uses port 3306 so
go to START-- RUN and then type CMD.
At the 'dos' command prompt type the following:
netstat -a |findstr 3306
If it finds port 3306 then there is already a process using that service.
If you are having additional difficulties starting the service, open a support case, or visit www.wampserver.com for additional troubleshooting steps
