title: WAMP server Icon is red but it shows that it is online, could not open the localhost
body: <p>I use wampserver 2.4 with php 5.4 , for 64bits in windows platform.</p>
  
  <p>I have a problem with wampserver. It shows a red icon but it tell me that it online, 
  when I tried to open the localhost it doesn't show the localhost for the wampserver , "Unable to connect" that what shows in Firefox.</p>
  
  <p>I tested the port 80 and the result was <strong>" your port 80 is not actually used "</strong>
  Then,I uninstall the Skype to make sure there is no conflicting between them. 
  I reinstall the Apache but nothings changed.</p>
  
  <p>I opened <strong>start>control panel>administration tool> services</strong>, and check the proprieties for the server and it was stop, and the icon 'start' was gray so i couldn't change it. </p>
  
  <p><strong>So I  reinstall the wampserve and the localhost worked but the icon still read.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I want to connect the MSsql data , so i install the drive files '<strong>.dll</strong>' then added the needed ones in <strong>wamp\php\ext</strong>. then added the extension in the <strong>php.ini</strong>, then restart the wampserver. when i restarted it, the problem came back again and the localhost doesn't work. i tried to remove the extensions that i added in <strong>php.ini</strong> and restart the wampserver again, but nothing solved.</p>
  
  <p>i've been looking for a solution for three days and tried almost every thing i found in the internet. but it still not working. so i register to stack over flow to present my problem to you.</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>pleas help me.</em></strong></p>
