Make sure your wamp service restartes automatically

I was greeted by customers calling me this am telling me their site(s) were not up.  I breathed deep to control my blood pressure and remoted into the server(s) in question.  I recently moved our moodle instances from 1 server to 3.  The moodle sites on two of the servers were down but not on the third.

I remoted into the servers where the sites were down and saw that the wampapache service was not started.  No Wamp service, no Apache service, no moodle site.  I opened the service and checked the properties and sure enough on the two servers with the sites down, the service restart property was set to manual.  Needless to say, I updated that to automatic.



Later that day, I restarted the server again to ensure that it would automatically start the wampapache service.
