WAMP Server – local server – 1 of 2 services running

I installed WAMP server and ran the applpication. The icon in the taskbar stays orange and says “local server – 1 of 2 services running” . Also, I am able to see the phpMyAdmin page in the browser but when I try to login it gives the following error:

#2002 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. <br />The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).

I have tested port 80 and I got this response:

    ***** Test which uses port 80 *****

===== Tested by command netstat filtered on port 80 =====


Test for TCP
Your port 80 is used by a processus with PID = 6612
The processus of PID 6612 is 'httpd.exe' Session: Services
The service of PID 6612 for 'httpd.exe' is 'wampapache64'
This service is from Wampserver - It is correct

Test for TCPv6
Your port 80 is used by a processus with PID = 6612
The processus of PID 6612 is 'httpd.exe' Session: Services
The service of PID 6612 for 'httpd.exe' is 'wampapache64'
This service is from Wampserver - It is correct

===== Tested by attempting to open a socket on port 80 =====

Your port 80 is actually used by :

Server: Apache/2.4.18 (Win64) PHP/5.6.19

I believe that the above result means that there is no problem with the port. I even tried changing the port and still gives the same status – orange icon.

Note – When a prompt from Windows Firewall was shown after installing WAMP, I didn’t give access to both private and public networks, i.e. I unchecked both the options.

Kindly help me to run both the services in the local server.

Thank you!
