I read many similar questions about it but the solutions are not working for me.
The icon says WAMP Server online but it stays orange.
when I test port 80 under Apache/services/Test port 80 it says that port 80 is actually used by: Server: Apache/2.2.8 PHP/5.2.6
Shouldn't that be a good thing? As there are no other programs using port 80, despite that when I type local host I get a weird page instead of the normal one, it has pink bars

Easy way to build Webserver, Database Server with AppServ :-)
I really need to start working in this project but this is preventing me from even starting.
Unless you really know what you are doing you should only have ONE Apache on your system.
Basically WAMPServer and APPServ are the same thing, that is they are installers for the WAMP Stack i.e. Apache, MySQL and PHP.
You only need one of them so uninstall the other, of course remember to backup anything you may want to move over to the other before you uninstall one of them.
