WampServer

I just installed WampServer on my computer (Windows 2000). I know nothing about php or MySql. I tried to go to localhost and get the following error: Forbidden - You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Why am I getting this error message aqdn what can I do to change it?

Thanks,
Hope

I'm having the same error.

Please help us.

is apache running? if you have win2k0, make sure IIS is not running, and apache is.

I have uninstalled wamp and reinstalled it. It always seems t5o install fine. And it says everything is running. But no matter what I try to do - localhost, myphpadmin, or sqlitemanager I keep getting the samer error message. I have stopped everything I can from running, even my antivirus program. I don't know what IIS is or how to access it. Below is the Apache Log from Wamp:

[Wed Aug 08 21:52:14 2007] [warn] pid file C:/wamp/Apache2/logs/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run?

Does this mean anything to you? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Hope

make sure you have setup directory options correctly. for example

Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None

you will need to install the wamp perl add-on, and then configure it. the installation of perl add-on does not configure apache to work with perl, so you will have to do that yourself.

I posted a post over a year ago on how to install and configure perl for wamp. since that post can be hard to find (especially for newbies) i will post how to do it here.

you need to open apache's config file ( c:\wamp\apache2\conf\httpd.conf ) and find:
<Directory "C:/wamp/www">

#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# [httpd.apache.org]
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

change it to:
<Directory "C:/wamp/www">

#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# [httpd.apache.org]
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

adding the +ExecCGI to the Options directive above means you can now run perl scripts, and you can run them in the any directory, you dont need to create a separate cgi-bin folder for your perl scripts to run in. we still need to do a few more steps to get perl to work.

now find this line:
#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

change it to:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

this step tells apache how to handle files that end with the .cgi and .pl extension.

now you need to open each of your .cgi and .pl files and change the location to perl at the top line of each script. so, change
#!c:/usr/bin/perl

to
#!c:/wamp/perl/bin/perl.exe

now you need to restart apache for all the changes to take effect.

Awesome man, This helped alot. This should DEFINITELY go in the FAQ because that is where I looked first. (Or maybe the "forum" could get a little update so there could be sections with a tutorials section)

Just dropping a little suggestion... and a HUGE thanks to CyberSpatium who I have seen in almost every post i've looked at. Your doing an awesome job man!

--- edit ----
Nevermind.... your Unofficial Usermanual/Guide needs to be made official and very accessible. Holy cow.

I have installed wamp on machine A. When I am on the local server that I installed it on I can access PHPMyAdmin from [127.0.0.1] or [localhost]
But I want to be able to access it from my computer and when I type in IP address of the Server I can see the pages I have put in but when I type [192.168.0.3], PHPMyAdmin comes up saying
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /mysql/ on this server.

Solution:
Go to C:\wamp\alias. Open the file phpmyadmin.conf and add

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Allow Override all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from MACHINE_IP

Naruto Shippuden Episode 206

My solution:
I had the same problem and I unistalled wamp 2.2 and I deleted my current wamp installation directory and installed wamp again and it worked!
