WampServer

Hello,

I just updated my WAMP to version 3.3.3 and Apache to 2.4.58.1 x64. And I can no longer access my websites over LAN – I get the "403 Forbidden" error.

I checked – the settings in \wamp64\alias\phpmyadmin.conf remain unchanged:


Alias /phpmyadmin "c:/wamp64/apps/phpmyadmin5.2.1/"

<Directory "c:/wamp64/apps/phpmyadmin5.2.1/">
<ifDefine APACHE24>
Require local
Require ip 192.168.1
</ifDefine>
<ifDefine !APACHE24>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost ::1 127.0.0.1
Allow from 192.168.1
</ifDefine>
# To import big file you can increase values
php_admin_value upload_max_filesize 128M
php_admin_value post_max_size 128M
php_admin_value max_execution_time 360
php_admin_value max_input_time 360
</Directory>

I also noticed that all my virtual hosts have been deleted during the update – from both the

\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.58.1\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf – new version

and

\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.54.2\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf – old version.

This happened despite selecting the option to transfer the settings during the update, as I have done during previous updates.

I have now recreated all my virtual hosts and they work.


EDIT: I have also manually added "Require ip 192.168.1" to each virtual host, so it now looks like this:


"<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName vinyls
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp64/www/vinyls"
<Directory "c:/wamp64/www/vinyls/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
Require ip 192.168.1
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


But the problem persists. Please help.

Problem solved!

I had forgotten to add "Require ip 192.168.1" also to the "localhost" definition:

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"
<Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
Require ip 192.168.1
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The question remains why the tool to copy vhost settings failed to work...

Hi,

NO.

In the extreme, I'm willing to believe that files can't be copied, but in no way can they be deleted; there are no instructions to delete files.
And if there's an error in the file copying process, it's recorded in the PHP logs.

On the other hand, the PhpMyAdmin 5.2.1 alias is definitely not the original one.
It includes instructions to support Apache 2.2, but this support has been removed as of PhpMyAdmin 4.9.3.

Do you use anti-virus and/or anti-malware software?

Yes, I have Kaspersky. But I had it last year, too, when I upgraded Apache again. And this problem didn't occur.

I now have another problem but I will post a separate thread.
