WampServer

I just freshly installed Windows 2000 and decided to install WAMP5 1.7.1 on it.

If my server is offline then I cannot access anything (local host and anything in the www directory shows as forbidden)

If my server is online I can access localhost just fine and also I can access the stuff in the www directory.

However I cannot access phpMyAdmin or SQLiteManager, they show up as forbidden.

So how do I fix both of these problems?

Why is it not working in offline mode and why can't I get to phpMyAdmin or SQLiteManager?

I have exactly the same

I hope someone finds a sollution for this soon.

Same here. I get HTTP 403 error when I try to access phpMyAdmin or SQLiteManager.

you will need to know your ip address
www.whatismyip.com

open C:\wamp\Apache2\conf\alias\phpmyadmin.conf

find
<Directory "c:/wamp/phpmyadmin/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

change to
<Directory "c:/wamp/phpmyadmin/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from YOUR.IP.ADDRESS.HERE
</Directory>

save the file and restart apace for the changes to take effect.

access
[YOUR.IP.ADDRESS.HERE]

This doesn't work because it seems that it can't recognize localhost IP Adress 127.0.0.1 as eggnog observed in the topic...

look at this : [www.apachelounge.com]

in the bottom of the post...

To use the workaround, put the Apache directive Win32DisableAcceptEx in your httpd.conf file.
It is just a one-word directive with no arguments. It should be outside of any blocks like <Directory>, <VirtualHost>, <Location>, etc.

This causes Apache on Windows systems to use the standard socket accept() function instead of the higher-performance Microsoft-specific AcceptEx() function to accept incoming requests.

Thanks a million!
I added the apache directive Win32DisableAcceptEx to the httpd.conf file and it now works fine.
