WampServer

(the following is all on localhost. Everything worked until --)

Where do I grant myself permission?

According to the post-installation configuration thread I made the following change, to restrict access from outside:

............................................................................................................................................................
............................................................................................................................................................


- By default, the base directory of the server is accessible to anyone accessing your server - this is not secure and should not be allowed. So,
Replace:

<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all granted
</Directory>

with

<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all denied
</Directory>

............................................................................................................................................................
............................................................................................................................................................


However, I lost permission to access my localhost wamp pages. How do I make the security settings changes and retain permission for myself?

Help is appreciated.

there should be something like this lower down in the httpd.conf file. This should allow access to the wamp folder

<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

# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit

AllowOverride None

# Controls who can get stuff from this server.

Thank you.

Perhaps related - I am wondering if this configuration would matter when I move the wordpress site from localhost to the webhost server. Just curious as I don't really know how it works.

Well hopefully the LIVE server has been configured by a professional.
