WampServer

Hello and Happy New Year 2024 to all forum members!
I've come across a tricky problem on my WampServer install when trying to use an H5P content, [h5p.org]. The problem is reported here: [github.com]
It seems that somewhere in the WampServer the Content-Security-Policy settings block access to the clipboard in all browsers.
Any hints?

This is a browser/javascript message and nothing to do with WAMPServer per se.

Remember, WAMPServer is the wrapper that allows easy install of Apache,PHP.mysql. etc etc.

Content-Security-Policy is managed by either a script or Apache, all of which are now YOURS to COMMAND.

By default there are no Content-Security-Policy directives in Apache, unless you added some.


So installing WAMPServer only allows you the ability to learn all these things in a safe environment, it does not come with the knowledge you need to use these tools. But the good news is the internet is full of resources where you can teach yourself all the required knowledge.

Maybe you can start with a A good read up on Content Security Policy WHat is is and how to get it to do what you want it to.

@RiggsFolly,
Thanks for responding. Just to make sure I installed XAMPP on my local machine... and I no longer have the problem I reported with the Content-Security-Policy settings blocking access to the clipboard in my H5P content.
I have also tried with the Lumi software [app.lumi.education], which creates its own local server. No problem.
I can only conclude that there is something in WAMPServer which causes the problem, but where is that setting?

Hi,

With Wampserver, by default, localhost and subsequently defined VirtualHost only allow local access via Require local. Perhaps this is where you need to look.

From what I've read on CSP, these directives come from the headers of Web sites and have little to do with the server.

On an Apache server, you need to define the Content Security Policy in your site's .htaccess file or in VirtualHost.

Thanks for those answers. However I am still stuck and don't understand why I should experience this problem with WAMPServer but no problem with XAMPP ?

Compare Apache configurations and modules, and VirtualHost differences between Wampserver and Xampp.
