WampServer

Hey there,

I've made my WAMP installation accessible on my local network. Other devices can navigate to 192.168.178.185/wordpress to see my project.

However, I would like other devices to access my project by simply navigating to 192.168.178.185 without specifying the subdirectory.

How can I set this up? Should I use a port (something like 192.168.178.185:8080) for this? How does that work?

My current vhosts.conf looks like this:

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

#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName wordpress
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp64/www/wordpress"
</VirtualHost>

<Directory "c:/wamp64/www/wordpress/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
Require ip 192.168.178
</Directory>

Thanks guys

Hi

Have a read on this, I am assuming you are talking about phones and tablets.

This was somewhat helpful. What I really want to do is access my project from outside my network, i.e., make it available on the internet.

I added the following two lines to httpd.conf
Listen 0.0.0.0:8080
Listen [::0]:8080

And added this to httpd-vhosts.conf
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName wordpress
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp64/www/wordpress"
<Directory "c:/wamp64/www/wordpress/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Then I set my router to port forward to my computer.

Now when I type my public IP address:8080 into a device on another network, I get the message
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server

And if I type my public ip address:8080/wordpress, I get
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /wordpress on this server.

What else am I missing?
