WampServer

I have a folder setup in c:\Wamp64\ called astronomy and can access locally using <img src="/astronomy/gemini.jpg"> however other computers/tablets on the network are not showing the images. I have the alias directory setup like this

Alias /astronomy "C:/wamp64/_astronomy/"
<Directory "C:/wamp64/_astronomy/">
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Is there a problem here? the rest of the page is served up perfectly

> Order allow,deny
> Allow from all

It is for Apache 2.2 !!!!

Apache 2.4 use Require. See Apache documentation.

webmasterinnj,

Please be careful when answering peoples questions! There is more to it than just getting your website link on lots of pages.

Order allow,deny

Is Apache 2.2 syntax

require all granted

Is Apache 2.4 syntax.

These 2 have nothing to do with each other.
Using the 2 together will only cause Apache confusion and can in some cases cause actual issues. I suggest from now on, in fact for some time now, that you stick to Apache 2.4 syntax.

Apache 2.4 Syntax Doc

The Apache 2.2 syntax only actually works in Apache 2.4 because this Apache module is loaded.

LoadModule access_compat_module modules/mod_access_compat.so

This has been the case since Apache 2.4 was released and was intended to allow us all time to move to the Apache 2.4 syntax without breaking millions of web sites as of day 1.
I would guess that at some point in the future that module will get removed/deprecated from the default httpd.conf file making only the valid Apache 2.4 syntax work.

You also need to be careful suggesting the use of `Require all Granted` as that gives access to the Universe. In this question the OP was interested in giving access to other computers/devices within their own network ONLY. So a much better solution would have been to suggest the use of a less dangerous configuration of

Require IP 192.168.0

This assumes of course that the OP's network is the usual SOHO router subnet and will give access to only that subnet. i.e. any ip address starting with `192.168.0`

Starting with the next Apache release (2.4.57.2 or 2.4.58) the access_compat_module will not be loaded by default.

Thanks Oto,

Sooner than I thought.
