WampServer

Hello i have 3 computers and want to one of them setted as a server with wamp.
i configured it properly but in the instance in which the machine should access a database it give me an error unable to connect i opened ports on firewall.
computer 1: server ip 192.168.1.155
computer 2: ip 192.168.1.154
computer 2: ip 192.168.1.153
i set listen 8080
but i dont know what does it means the settings near the main wamp directory (www) changed to dropbox
i have ServerName localhost:8080
why it doesnt work any installations of wordpress??
when i get into databases using phpmyadmin it works well
but when i want to enter wordpress sites says unable to connect
i have this settings:
listen 8080

ServerName localhost:8080

# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.154 192.168.1.153

thats the only config i changed

i dont use vhosts but i think i will on the near future.
it might be some problem with bind adress 127.0.0.1 in my.ini???? i followed a tutorial to secure wamp installs
Thanks in advance for any help provided.

It is so much easier to use port 80.

Did you install wordpress properly or copy an installation from another server?

i had to specify the ip on hosts files.....
in hosts:
127.0.0.1 192.168.1.155
Thanks

ServerName localhost:8080 is not correct. It should be 192.168.1.155:8080. Also change your host file back to default.

127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
::1 localhost


Also try allow from all to test for Apache permissions issues.

it worked i also started using vhosts....
Thanks a lot for the help.
ClearModule another question.... i touched hosts for computers on network recognize the server
is it any other way to do that... or just using hosts on server.
example:
Vhosts file

NameVirtualHost *:8080


<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
DocumentRoot "c:/Users/Hubble/Dropbox/Project"
ErrorLog "c:/Users/Hubble/Dropbox/Project/Logs/project-error.log"
CustomLog "c:/Users/Hubble/Dropbox/Project/Logs/project-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName project.des
ServerAlias project
DocumentRoot "c:/Users/Hubble/Dropbox/Project/project1"
ErrorLog "c:/Users/Hubble/Dropbox/Project/project1/Logs/project-error.log"
CustomLog "c:/Users/Hubble/Dropbox/Project/project1/Logs/project-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName static.project.des
ServerAlias static
DocumentRoot "c:/Users/Hubble/Dropbox/Project/static"
ErrorLog "c:/Users/Hubble/Dropbox/Project/static/Logs/project-error.log"
CustomLog "c:/Users/Hubble/Dropbox/Project/static/Logs/project-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>


and in hosts file
hosts server (no dns server)
127.0.0.1 project.des
127.0.0.1 static.project.des

remote hosts (192.168.1.153)
192.168.1.155 project.des
192.168.1.155 static.project.des

is it safe to establish this parameters in hosts (remote - Local)

i followed a tutorial online and said that it was right that way but i ask just in case isnt so safe.
Thanks a lot ClearModule°!!!!! and Thanks RiggsFolly

Yes i Installed everything right it seems it was a problem with dns resolution.
solved using hosts files and the proper settings on httpd.conf..... ahhh i forgot i too shared the folder with the wamp server account on the server

You should not the hosts file for DNS resoultion. Use the name of the computer. To find your computer name

Open System by clicking the Start button , right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties.

Using the HOSTS file on the client PC in a local networked senario is a perfectly good idea.

It allows the client users to enter a sensible domain name, and allows Apache to direct the client to the correct vhosted site.

Thanks a lot for the help people. Salutations!!!
