Wampserver 2.5 installation/run error

Question

I installed Wampserver 2.5 64bit and during the installation no error occurred, however while running the following message appears.

The Configuration file contains a syntax error on line 325: [Eparseerror] Parameter "Service" specifies an Unknown service

The configuration file on this line contains this information:

What modification should be made on this line for Wamp to run smoothly?

Windows 7 SP1 - 64bits

Edit

archive portion

324 [switchApache2.2.22]
325 Action: service; Service: ; ServiceAction: stop; Flags: ignoreerrors waituntilterminated
326 Action: run; FileName: "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.2.22/bin/httpd.exe"; Parameters: "-n wampapache -k uninstall"; ShowCmd: hidden; Flags: ignoreerrors waituntilterminated

Looking at Github I could notice that my file is without the information in the service, but I’m not sure what information to be added at this location. Follow the search link

Try adding the Apache service:

324 [switchApache2.2.22]
325 Action: service; Service: wampapache; ServiceAction: stop; Flags: ignoreerrors waituntilterminated
326 Action: run; FileName: "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.2.22/bin/httpd.exe"; Parameters: "-n wampapache -k uninstall"; ShowCmd: hidden; Flags: ignoreerrors waituntilterminated

I make the following recommendation:

1. Back up the folder c:\wamp\www

2. Back up tables by using on cmd (change the folder mysql5.5.24 as needed)

   • First view the tables with the command:

     cd C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.24\bin\
     mysql -u root -p -e "select table_name"
     

   • Then backup the tables you created using the following command:

     cd C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.24\bin\
     mysqldump NOME_DA_TABELA > c:\Users\Nome do usuario\Desktop\nome_da_tabela.sql
     

3. Remove the wamp completely

4. Download it again by link http://www.wampserver.com/en/
5. Restore the folder www and the .sql saved you can restore by phpmyadmin.

Normally the installation of both 32bit and 64bit Wampserver should not present problem at the time of its execution. The problem could be some antivirus or viruses or the two of them together. If your pc has Baiddu or Hao123 or toolbars it is not known where it comes from in the browsers and sometimes even various antivirus installed conflicting. also has to see if you are not trying to install a 64bit software on a 32bit operating system.

Depending on software versions, you may have problems with ports also between Skype and Wampserver trying to connect to the same port.
