WampServer

I am trying to set up Wamp on a network, i have managed to install it on 1 desktop and i have hosted some systems which i want to be accessed over the LAN

The problem is i am not able to access it from other machines, but locally i am able to do that using the machines ip address

snapshot of the httpd.conf

#
#ServerName www.example.com:80
ServerName 172.31.9.251:8081
#
# Deny access to the entirety of your server's filesystem. You must
# explicitly permit access to web content directories in other
# <Directory> blocks below.
#
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
#Require all denied
</Directory>

i don't know what to do now.. please help
I am using Apache 2.3.14, and the WaMP ICON is green

Change this

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
#Require all denied
</Directory>

back to

<Directory />
   Options FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride None
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny from all
</Directory>

You have 2 options to allow access

1. Using the wampmanager menus do "Put Online" this will change the httpd.conf and set "Allow from all"

Thats a bit global, so you may be better to do this instead :

2. Find the section of httpd.conf that starts

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

And change it to add the ip addresses, or ranges or ip addresses that you LAN users are using

#   onlineoffline tag - don't remove
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from localhost 127.0.0.1
    Allow from 192.168.1                               <-- see note

Note: Use the first 3 quartiles of the lan subnet and every ip address starting 192.168.1 will be allowed access.
You can add as many "Allow from ?.?.?" as you may need to use


Question: What version of WAMPServer are you using? Just double click the wampmanager icon in the system try and a dialog will tell you the version number.

Hi RiggsFolly

I have reverted the changes, however i cant find this section in my WAMPs httpd.conf
# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost 127.0.0.1

I am using WAMPServer Version 2.3

Thanks

Hi

Then you or someone has done some serious messing with the httpd.conf file.


Post you complete httpd.conf file, or send me a Private message if you dont want it to be seen by everyone

Yes someone has made MAJOR changes to the httpd.conf file.

Not least of which is that you are using FASTCGI for your PHP environment.

This was the section I was looking for

DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/"
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

But this appears to be set to "Allow from all" so it should be usable from anywhere.


I would be tempted to change this line

Listen 172.31.9.251:8081

to

Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen [::0]:80

So that it would listen on any ipaddress rather than just 172.31.9.251 It cannot do any harm

If i add these lines

Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen [::0]:80

My Wamp server shows an Amber icon and Not the green icon

I tried removing the Listen [::0]:80

The wamps server icon becomes green, but still i cant access the Wamp page from any other machine
