WampServer

I'm attempting to run Snipe-IT on a locally available server Windows 2016 running on VM Cluster.
I've followed the directions to get my Wampserver running.
Specs are as follows
Apache2.4 MySQL 5&8 MariaDB 10.4 PHP5&7

I even have the Snipe-IT application running on the server locally but when I try to access it from another computer on the LAN I don't know what URL I should be using.

The host name doesn't work.
The VirtualHost name used on the server doesn't work from a different computer.
The IP address of the server doesn't work from another computer on the LAN.

I apologize for the question because I know it's due to my ignorance. I'm not a web developer just a system administrator working for a small non-profit company without a lot of means.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've started answering my own question.
I added MyPCHostName to my VirtualHosts and when I navigate to [MyPCHostName]
from a computer on the LAN I get a permissions Forbidden error.
I know how to set the permissions when setting this up with a IIS server but the instructions for installing
Snipe-IT on a WAMP server don't mention changing the permissions on the files like the IIS server does.
And the Pre-Flight check didn't have a problem with the permissions. Can anyone tell me what permissions and on what files I need to change for a install of Snipe-IT on a WAMP server?

Hi,

See:
- Require

Documentation Apache - Documentation PHP - Documentation MySQL - Wampserver install files & addons

Hi Otomatic
Thanks for the fast response.
I have the Require all granted line in my httpd.com
<Directory />
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>

Is there another file I should check?

Hi,

> I have the Require all granted line in my httpd.com
> <Directory />
NO, NO, NO, and NO !!!!
Your server is open for every body, including system files!
You should never modify httpd.conf, only the VirtualHost.

> AllowOverride all
> Order Deny,Allow
> Allow from all
It is for Apache 2.2, not for Apache 2.4.

That's good to know but even after I changed the httpd.conf I still get a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access the login page from a computer on our LAN.

I will change the VirtualHost file but I still can't figure out what permissions I need to set to allow access from our LAN.
I have the windows firewall turned off.
I gave IUSR permission to have full control of the public folder inside my C:\wamp64\www\Snipe-IT

I followed this documentation seen here [snipe-it.readme.io]
And as mentioned it works fine from the server when I'm on it with remote desktop.
If I turn on Debugging will that help me see what might be happening?

1. Show us your httpd-vhosts.conf file

2. You Never ever ever ever need to do anything like that If you ever get to a place where you think you do, you are Way way off base and should stop and ask for help

I figured something was off but the instructions for the IIS install of Snipe-IT required the Windows Permissions to be fixed I was hoping that might be my problem.
[snipe-it.readme.io]

Here is my virtual hosts file

# Virtual Hosts
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"

What version of WAMPServer did yo install. No idea how you managed to get Apache 2.2 commands into this if it was a recent version, if it was you, then please read the Apache manual before blundering about

You say you are trying to access from another PC On the LAN, a few hint, from the manual

Require all granted - allows access from any PC anywhere in the UNIVERSE
Require ip 192.168.1 - allows access from any PC on the subnet that starts with those 3 quartile
Require ip 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 - allows access from this list of ip addresses only

If as you say you want to access from another PC on the LAN use the second mechanism, check the ip addresses of the PC to see the subnet

# Virtual Hosts
#

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias localhost
    DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"
    <Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        # You never want anyone getting to localhost, so make it secure using
        Require local

    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
#


#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName snipe-it
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp64/www/snipe-it/public"
    <Directory "c:/wamp64/www/snipe-it/public/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        # Just allow access from your subnet
        Require ip 192.168.1

    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>


#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName kbcsnmpsrv01
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp64/www/snipe-it/public"
    <Directory "c:/wamp64/www/snipe-it/public/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        # Just allow access from your subnet
        Require ip 192.168.1

    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

NOTE your subnet may be different, chcek it first!

Dont forget to restart the Apache service once you have made these changes to the httpd-vhosts.conf file

I used the wampserver3.2.3_x64.exe
My Apache version according to the Wampserver system try icon is Apache 2.4.46

The Apache 2.2 commands were found in other Google searches for fixing the 403 Forbidden error. (They didn't fix the problem though)

At this point we are just hoping to evaluate the software this won't be our production server.
It will never touch the internet. It will only be available via our LAN.
I don't want to open us up to attach but at this point I can't even use the software on the same LAN.
Do you know of a good step by step instruction for getting started with Snipe-IT or something like it for IT inventory?

Thanks very much for all your time and input on this.

We got it working from our LAN now.

This was the working setup on the vhosts.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName kbcsnmpsrv01
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp64/www/snipe-it/public"
<Directory "c:/wamp64/www/snipe-it/public/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted

</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Thanks again for all your help.
