Answer 1

It is possible that WMWare uses the same port as WAMP. I remember Skype doing this resulting in APACHE being unable to start the servers on its port.

You can use this tutorial to try and change the vSphere port from it's 80 default: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1021199

LE: There could be some other WMWare component that uses the 80 port. Try closing all WMWare components and start WAMP. If it works, then WMWare is using the 80 port.

Answer 2

Most probably the 2 fight over the same port (80). Also, Skype might cause WAMP to fail at starting and to display "304" errors for every GET request on the server.

Change WAMP 's listening port from \\wamp\\bin\\apache\\apache2.2.8\\conf . Locate httpd.conf , open it with a text editor and search for listening. Change to whatever port you consider.
