WampServer

Hello,

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64bit. The wamp server I've installed is also x64bit. My Apache version is 2.4.9. MySql Version: 5.6.17. Php version: 5.5.12. The wamp icon is Green. I do have a hosts file and this is what it looks like;

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#	127.0.0.1       localhost
#	::1             localhost

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       myrgn.net

::1 localhost
::1 myrgn.net

Only I can access my website, when other people try to access it, it gives them a Forbidden Message. Can you please help?

Thank you.

This is because WAMPServers prime funtion is as a local developers tool and not a live server, therefore the Apache config is set, for security reasons, to only allow access to Apache from the local machine.


If you mean you want to allow access from the internet to your Apache server, first I will start with a warning.

This is dangerous unless you know what you are doing and you have hardened your server appropriately.


However if you want to take the risk it is quite easy.

The quick way, assuming you have not used Virtual hosts ( and you shoudl have really ) is just to do the following :-

left click the wampmanager icon ( thats the W icon in the system tray ) -> Put Online


If you have used Virtual hosts, then you need to manually change the Virtual Host definition for the site you want to put online and chnage 'Require local' to 'Require all granted'.

I put it online, and its still forbidden.
How would I change the definition for the Virtual Host?

Did you create a Virtual Host, they are not there by default?

If not, you have better send me your httpd.conf file as a Private Message rather than posting it up here.

I pmed you my httpd.conf file.

Ah you are using Virtual Hosts.

So the solution would be to put the server Offline again.

wampmanager -> Put Offline

This will stop external users being able to see your wamp home page.



Now edit the httpd-vhost.conf file and for the Specific site you want to be see from the internet change the access rights for that site like so:-

Find the 'Require local' line and chnage it to 'Require all granted'

This will allow access to this one site from the internet.

I changed nothing, when I restarted the vps it just stopped working.

Did you restart Apache after restarting the server?

Yes, should I post my httpd.conf and vhost.conf?

Not really sure what your problem is so that probably wont help

So what can I do?

Start by describing what you did, something like :-

I restart the server
then I start WampServer, the wampserver icon goes Green! Or does it?

I try accessing my site from the browser on the server using 'What address'

I try to ping my server from my PC and it does respond! Or does it?


Basically I dont know what you did to get to where you are, and I dont know what you are doing to get what error message.

I fixed the problem, but now I see a bunch of errors like;
[prntscr.com]
I've never encountered this before and I've used wamp more then once.

Looks like the code was written on an earlier version of PHP.

The first one "Non static method" is due old code I think.

The other 2 look like simple bad code.
