WampServer

I have installed the latest version of wampserver 2.5, which is running fine. I'm trying to set up virtual hosts.
The files I need to change are (as far as I know):
wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.9/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/Project" //example
ServerName Project
</VirtualHost>

c:/windows/systems32/drivers/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 Project

wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.9/conf/httpd.conf
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

I restart the server and refresh localhost after editing each file, so I know if editing a file is causing any issues with localhost. Everything is fine after editing the first two files above. After I uncomment
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf and restart the server I get a 403 Forbidden error on localhost.

Can anyone advise me what could be causing this? Or am I missing something?

Hello,

The problem is your vhost definition of the Project.
Also you need to define localhost as a vhost as well as the original defineition in httpd.conf is ignored when virtual hosts are used.

See this Sticky Post for how to set it up correctly WAMPServer 2.5 The Homepage, Your Projects Menu and the need for Virtual Hosts
