There is no need to start or stop >e-novative> WAMP manually. >e-novative> WAMP (or, to be more specific, the web server Apache and the MySql database) are installed as services (in the Unix/Linux world known as daemons). These services are started automatically when you power up your computer and stopped when you shut down your computer. There is no need to start or stop PHP either, since the PHP interpreter is embedded into Apache and/or run directly from the command line.

As of >e-novative> WAMP version 2.1, two start menu entries Start WAMP and Stop WAMP exist. You will only need to use them to restart WAMP after making changes to configuration files. >e-novative> WAMP will still start and stop automatically on system start and shutdown.

Is it possible to only manually start and stop WAMP. I've tried this by disabling the service. However when starting WAMP from the start menu I get a 1058 Error. Any advice ?

WAMP consists of two services, mysql and apache. You can start and stop both at the command line with net start apache (or mysql) and net stop apache. If you don't want the services to start when the computer boots, set the start to manual in the service control panel.

Looking at the service control panel, I disabled MySQL and Apache. However once booting into windows, I cannot start Apache nor MySQL via net start, I recieve a 1058 Error.

I think you need to set the service(s) to manual rather than disabled. Error 1058 means "service is disabled and cannot be started".

when you get the error 1058 this is what you have to do, I never thought this would be so easy to fix, even when i took almost 3 weeks to figure out. But you know what they say: " practice makes the master..." Ok, this is what you have to do: 1- Open Control Panel. 2- Open Administrative Tools. 3- Open Services. 4- find the Apache or the MySql Service and open its properties. 5- there locate the "Log On" property, there you would see a small window that says:"you can enable or disable this service for the hardware profile listed below"..... 6-click the enable button. 7- click the apply button and close the properties. 8- start the Apache or the MySql service and DONE...!! Problem Solved.......
