WampServer

Ok,

So to make another VH that you can access from inside your network, but running the exact same code as the externally visible site, I would try something like this

--------Host File--------------

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

127.0.0.1 opsuscredcap.ddns.net
::1 opsuscredcap.ddns.net

127.0.0.1 opsuscredcap.local
::1 opsuscredcap.local

And add another VH like this

# Virtual Hosts
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias localhost
    DocumentRoot "C:/Wamp/www"
    <Directory "C:/Wamp/www/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require local
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName opsuscredcap.ddns.net
    ServerAlias www.opsuscredcap.ddns.net
    DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/redcap"
    <Directory "C:/wamp/www/redcap/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName opsuscredcap.local
    ServerAlias www.opsuscredcap.local
    DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/redcap"
    <Directory "C:/wamp/www/redcap/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require local
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Note the new VH is visible only internally `Require local`
and it uses the new `opsuscredcap.local` domain name
But it points to exactly that same DocumentRoot as the externally visible site.

Hi I'm new to the forum, I installed wamp64 and I made the changes exactly as you mentioned above in the post to publish my site on the internet, but when I call the site from the internet I'm given the error 403 message you do not have the permess, you can suggest me a solution to the problem, thanks in advance

Hi,

Can you show us the full error message and also your Virtual Host definition please

Also answer these question READ (and answer) BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION

It would also be a good idea to start a brand new thread.

Did you Port Forward your router?
Did you check your Firewall allows remote TCP connection through.

Thanks

Hi,
thank you for your replay, the PC is Windows 10 64bit, Wamp 3.1.2 64bit, Apache 2.4.23, PHP 7.0.10, MySQL 5.7.14, Wamp is Green
the virtual Host definition in the httpd-vhosts.conf file are:

# Virtual Hosts
#

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName localhost
	DocumentRoot c:/wamp64/www
	<Directory  "c:/wamp64/www/">
		Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
		AllowOverride All
		Require all granted

	<Directory  "c:/wamp64/www/calossografica/">
		Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
		AllowOverride All
		Require all granted
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The definition in Hosts file are:


127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

127.0.0.1	calossografica.ddns.net
::1	calossografica.ddns.net

The error that is reported to me when I try to access the internet is "Access Denied You don't have permission to access "[calossografica.ddns.net]; on this server".

The port 80 are open on the router and on the firewall
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Well I can see your web site so I assume you have fixed the access issue.

All that remains to be done is to fix the references to `localhost` in you source code.

Hi,

I've changed in httpd.conf the lines

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

to
<Directory />
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
</Directory>

but for "fix the references to `localhost`" are you referring to my website or to wamp setup?
Thanks

Hi

That is a very VERY dangerous change, and opens access to all the drive that Apache is installed on.

A REAL SECURITY NO NO!

Replace the original setting

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

Try removing the

[code[
ServerAlias www.calossografica.ddns.net
[/code]

from the VH definition

I've restored the AllowOverride with none and I've removed ServerAlias www.calossografica.ddns.net now in Internet I've error 403 Forbidden.

You are getting an Apache Error (403) so we can assume you are getting through your router and the port forwarding is correct.

I made some minor mods, so try copy/paste this to `httpd-vhosts.conf` file

# Virtual Hosts
#

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName localhost
	DocumentRoot c:/wamp64/www
	<Directory  "c:/wamp64/www/">
		Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
		AllowOverride All
		# Never make locahost accessible
		Require local
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
#
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName calossografica.ddns.net
	ServerAlias www.calossografica.ddns.net
	DocumentRoot c:/wamp64/www/calossografica
	<Directory  "c:/wamp64/www/calossografica/">
		Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
		AllowOverride All
		Require all granted
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The definition in Hosts file are only relevant to your PC, they do not effect access from the internet

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

127.0.0.1	calossografica.ddns.net
::1	calossografica.ddns.net

Now this makes me think that you may have changed something in the `httpd.conf` file. Did you?

I copied in VH what you posted to me but still gives me error 403 when I try to access from the internet

So my last question was have you made any changes to the `httpd.conf` file?

These are the parameters of my httpd.conf:

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen [::0]:80

#
ServerName 10.0.0.11:80

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

#
HostnameLookups Off

# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Require all granted

that's all

Ok,

Change

ServerName 10.0.0.11:80

To

ServerName localhost:80

And

#   onlineoffline tag - don't remove
    Require local

as all access is not controlled from your httpd-vhosts.conf now

how should i do?
the site address is calossografica.ddns.net
test

Thanks,

I can see the site!

There are issues with the layout, but thats a code issue.

So I assume when yo try and access from the internet, you are doing that from inside your local network. That often does not work as most SOHO routers do not have the piece of code that allows them to notice the site is in fact inside the local network.

Try accessing the site from your phone, but make sure it is not using WIFI and you shoudl see it too

Hi RiggsFolly,

I have read so many articles on how to configure wamp or apache and could not make it work for external access.

At last, By reading your posts I configured my wamp server for external users and it's working great. I just signed up to thank you.

Have a great day

Hi,

Glad it was of use to you.

And thanks for taking the time to say thanks
