WampServer

Hi,

Newbie question. I just installed Wampserver, but whatever I do, I always get "You don't have permission to access /testc/ on this server".

I went so far as to copy phpmyadmin.conf to testc.conf and change Alias /phpmyadmin [...] in the first line to Alias /testc [...] leaving everything else identical. Even then I get the error, even though I have no problem reaching phpmyadmin through its original alias. How is this possible?

Hello tia,

Ok so undo the changes you described.

Then can you start by answering these questions so we know a little bit about your setup please. [forum.wampserver.com]

1 - Windows 8. Dunno 32bit or 64bit. It's a rather recent laptop if that helps.
2 - Version WampServer: 2.5 (current version dl'd yesterday), 32bit
3 - Apache Version: 2.4.9
4 - PHP Version: 5.5.12
5 - MySQL Version: 5.6.17
6 - What color is the WampServer icon: GREEN
7 - hosts file has 1 line
127.0.0.1 localhost
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]


11 - If you use an Antivirus and / or Firewall, please include the names of these
avast


12 - What is the full path to the installation of WampServer (eg D:\wamp\)
C:\DEV\wamp

apologies for missing the "Sticky: READ BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION" btw :/

Tia,

It is a better idea to use Virtual Hosts rather than Alias's, here is a post that shoudl help you get them up and running
