WampServer

1 - Windows version used (Specify version number AND whether 32 or 64 bit): 10, 64 bit

7 - In the file c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts, what are the active lines with the name [localhost] in them?
* Active means no # at the beginning of the line.

If the WampServer icon is green:

8 - Do you have access to localhost (Homepage WampServer)? Yes

10 - If you refer to an error message, please include the EXACT wording of the error in your post
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Apache/2.4.9 (Win32) PHP/5.5.12 Server at stagg25 Port 80
11 - If you use an Antivirus and / or Firewall, please include the names of these: AVG
12 - What is the full path to the installation of WampServer (eg D:\wamp\): C:\wamp

I've walked through the troubleshooting guide, all the post in the forum (hopefully) and all other sites I can thick of. No luck!

Here's my vhost-file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/stagg25"
ServerName stagg25
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/stagg25">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

What should I do?
Best regards,
Johan

Hi

Is WAMPServer installed on the same PC that you are using the browser on?

Yes.

So what are you entering into the browser address bar?

Chrome: 1) stagg25 2) stagg25/ 3) [stagg25] 4) [stagg25]

Try another browser like FireFox or even IE

Chrome has some odd issues when it come to accessing the local machine.

Does it work with another browser?

Same error in IE.

Can you ping stagg25


Open a command window and do

ping stagg25

then

ping /4 stagg25

Do you get something like this as a reply

D:\php_source>ping localhost

Both ping's did work.

Have you uncommented this line in the httpd.conf file?

# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf      <--- this line must be uncommented

Absolutely.

Then I am running out of ideas.

Do you want to try a Team Viewer session so I can see exactly what is going on?

If so send me a Private Message with your TeamViewer ID and PASSWORD

For completeness

It turned out to be an attempt to do a quickstart recovery of a Joomla site, but somehow there was a .htaccess file in the stagg25 folder that was denying all access.
