WampServer

so i have a WAMP installation on a Windows 7 Pro machine that is working fine. i can access the site across my LAN, by adding the following (that i found on stackoverflow or somewhere) to the Directory section of httpd.conf:

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
Allow from all

and it works fine (and that was just a cut-n-paste job, i have no idea what i'm doing

now i've installed WAMP on a Server 2008R2 box and i can't get to it from other computers.

i've gone through the stickies, and made sure i have all the pre-req vcredists installed, and that my vhost is configured properly.

just to check, i installed WAMP on another Win7 workstation and just copied the httpd.conf and httpd-vhosts.conf files from the non-working Server 2008 machine to the new one, and i'm able to connect across the LAN just fine.

does anyone know if there's something i'm missing with Server that isn't present on Win7?

oh, and i've made sure that nothing is using port 80 on the Server (and no IIS is running). netstat shows apache is listening on 80.

Which version of WAMPServer did you install?

WAMP Server 2.5:

Apache 2.4.9
PHP 5.5.12
MySQL 5.6.17

so i found that it was a simple firewall issue. i turned off the Windows Firewall for Domain Network Location Settings (and left it on for both Home/Work and Public).

there's probably a more refined solution with rules, but this works for me
