8 - Do you have access to localhost (Homepage WampServer)? YES
9 - Do you have access to phpMyAdmin? YES
10 - If you refer to an error message, please include the EXACT wording of the error in your post
So I've created an alias called test with either the default alias file, the alias file copied from phpmyadmin or the following simplified file (result is always the same):
Alias /test/ "D:/WebLIVE/test/"
<Directory "D:/WebLIVE/test/">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
when in the browser I go to [
localhost] I get:
403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access /test/ on this server.
Apache/2.4.9 (Win32) PHP/5.5.12 Server at localhost Port 80
for each attempt my Apache log has
[authz_core:error] [pid 860:tid 984] [client ::1:57018] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: D:/WebLIVE/test/, referer: [
localhost]
