WampServer

I want to access the Apache server from another device on the LAN using the local ip address of the Apache Windows machine. I have no desire to access WAMP from the web, nor do I need SSL. When trying this now I get a 403 Forbidden error issued by Apache.

The last time I did this was on a older WAMP version where I simply set WAMP Online or Offline. Now it appears I need a Virtual Host and I'm feeling more than a bit overwhelmed and not understanding what must be done. (Yes I read the docs).

So before I go down adding a VH path, I'm wondering if there is a simple settings modification allowing the current VH to accept LAN messages?

Wampserver 3.2.9 (64 bit) - Apache 2.4.54 - PHP 8.1.10 - MySQL 5.7.39 (don't use Maria) PhpMyAdmin 5.2.0 Windows 11 (64 bit)

Hi,

See Require directive

@Otomatic Thank you.

Changed the Require all denied around line 264-266 in httpd.conf, but still getting 403 Forbidden from another device on the LAN. Restarted WAMP after each change.

Am I in the wrong file or incorrect location within the file?

Tried the following
Require ip 192.168
Require all granted

httpd.conf change

# 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 />
AllowOverride none
# Require all denied
Require ip 192.168
</Directory>

Hi,

No, it is not httpd.conf that needs to be modified, but only the VirtualHost(s) for which you want to allow access from the LAN.
