windows 7 - How to remove IIS for WampSERVER?

    I have WampServer installed, and I installed Microsoft SEO Toolkit, I guess that has the IIS dependency. And I guess the iis service uses port 80.

    Now every time I start WampServer, I need to go to cmd and type iisreset /stop, or else WampServer will not get online. I'm tired of this.

    How can I remove iis or whatever to "open up" my port:80 ?

    Thanks for any help !

    P.S.

    I'm not sure what's relevant. Please tell me if I need to post a list of my installed programs or anything.

    I always redirect WAMP to other port So left click on Wamp in the tray icon, and select Apache > httpd.conf then find the line:

    Listen 80

    Change it to:

    Listen 8080

    You could also remove the binding on your IIS website so it points to port 8080, and leave your WAMP server on port 80.

    1. 1.Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
    2. Select the Web site that you wish to configure.
    3. In the Action pane, click Bindings.
    4. Click Add to add a new site binding, or click Edit to change an existing binding.
    5. Click OK to apply the changes.

    You'll want to edit the existing binding, and simply change the port number to a different one. If you aren't using the website at all, you can right-click on it and disable it as well. This will stop it from grabbing port 80 after a reboot.

    windows 7 - How to change default browser to open localhost in wampserver
  • soul

    When I installed wampserver on my computer. I didn't have firefox or any browser installed. Because I also disabled Internet explorer. How do I manually set the default browser that opens up localhost or phpmyadmin from wampserver when you left click it

    To change the default browser for the tray icon:

    • Open C:\wamp in Windows Explorer (or wherever you installed wampserver)

    • Open wampmanager.conf in a text editor

      • Find the section [main]

      • Find the following line:

        navigator = "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"

      • Replace it with:

        navigator = “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe”
    • Save the the file
    • Restart the tray icon

    this may not be exactly what you want, but may work for you. You can set the shortcut properties target, and define which browser to use. This vista example is using chrome, but you can target whichever browser you prefer, just point to the application exe.

     C:\Users\anyUser\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --app=http://localhost/default.htm

    Here is another solution more appropriate I think:

    In your main wamp locate the file named wampmanager.ini (seems to be named wampserver.ini on some installs). If you want to change only the browser for localhost, search for the [Menu.Left] section, around line 277. Two lines in that section define the path to the browser for localhost and phpmyadmin. Change it to point to the desired browser.

    If you want to change every settings involving the preset browser, run a find command in the file with the browser's name.

    Open your wampmanager.conf file in a text editor; it is usually in C:/wamp/wampmanager.conf.

    Under the section [main], you will find the key navigator. Change its value to the path of your browser. For example:

    navigator = "C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe"

    Restart the wampserver tray icon.
