WampServer

I installed WAMP 1.7.0 and tried to connect to it. I got message saying that Im forbidden from accessing the local page. I looked into the settings and changed "Deny from all" to "Allow from all" as it was way too restrictive.

I then noticed my website was reporting my IP as 0.0.0.0 so checked it from another local machine and a remote machine... all IPs are shown from remote_addr as 0.0.0.0 so it REALLY messes up any access rules.

This is also why people installing WAMP 1.7.0 cant see any pages when it first installs and makes the whole of WAMP appear broken & useless.

The _SERVER["SERVER_ADDR"] and _SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] returning nulls is a known bug / problem with Apache 2.2.4 so using any kind of IP-based security like WAMP uses by default... while installing a version of apache that cant return the needed info is kinda stupid and obviously untested.

Maybe a "fix" for wamp can be released using Apache 2.2.3 instead so that people can get an install that actually works instead of having to remove the buggy apache and replace with a previous version? (Which if your users could all do themselves... they wouldnt need your wamp anyway)

Yes, I've seen a lot of people has problem w/ 1.7.0, so I don't know if I'm lucky or what. Wamp 1.7.0 is installed and running w/o any problem on my new Toshiba laptop, just bought it 2 days ago, that comes w/ Windows Vista, and I even already upgraded mysql from 5.0.27 to 5.2.3 and phpmyadmin from 2.9.2 to 2.10.0 and my wamp still working flawlessly.

Honestly, I'm curious and want to try 1.7.0 on other os, especially on w2k because I see people have problem w/ this os more than the others, but kind of tightening to some paid projects right now. Anyway, very good found though.

Have fun

Hi Trammel,

Could this issue cause enless "Website found, waiting for reply..." -- localhost not to display on some machines? Been trying to nail down why wamp isnt working on a couple of machines. Have looked at everything I can think of except WAMP itself...

thanks

Hey redundant, what brand of laptop do you have? Hope it's not Sony because they have their own server running in the background. Personally, I'd like Toshiba or HP/Compaq laptops, and Dell or HP/Compaq desktops; they're easier to setup the way I like.

I installed WAMP5 1.7.0 under Win2k. I did get the same issue of not being able to access [localhost] nor [localhost]
I noticed in the ApahceErrorLogs the following:

[error] [client 0.0.0.0] client denied by server configuration: D:/wamp/www/

So in order to access the linkes as mentioned, I added
Allow from 0.0.0.0
in the httpd.conf file and it solve the issues.
The rest of the security settings can be changed as mentioned within the rest of the forum listings and the FAQs within this site.


I hope that this helps as I did not understand why when accessing port 80 (Apache using port 80) it was sending IP 0.0.0.0 and not 127.0.0.1 as it should. I installed a small experimental webserver in port 8080 and ip 127.0.0.1 was showing in the logs, so you are right. Something is buggy in apache's release.

A.L.F.

PS: Take Care,

Hello again yfastud,

My laptop is an HP. I am mainly trying to get WAMP to work on my workstation though, which I assembled. It is a Vista x64 box. However, I have this issue with both the 32bit (vista) laptop and x64 machine. I have seen the issue on an XP Acer laptop i have laying around, too. And another couple of user's were XP as well. Unfortunately I dont know much about apache/php/mysql--my strengths are elsewhere.

I think i am going to try to install Apache by itself to narrow the problem <cringe>. Thanks for your help/time on other posts. Take care

Hey redundant, you're having the same issue on all your machines even w/ different brands and os, so it must be a soft that you installed in all your machines which cause that problem. Hope I guess it right so you can narrow down the cause.

If you have a spare hd around, try to re-format it, then install a fresh xp, mcafee, and wamp only; then, after testing it works as expected, install all other softs back one by one, make sure to test wamp after each installation to find out which soft is the cause.

Have fun

Ya, i tend to agree and have gone about the issue by eliminating software via uninstalls/shutting down services, etc. But, thats not cutting it...guess the fresh start 1by1 maybe the answer. Thank ya

If you really do it, better start w/ xp, easier to setup and figure out what wrong.

Found the issue for my machines: NOD32 Anti Virus--sorry to have semi-partially hijacked this Thread

I knew it. I knew it.

When reading your post again, I wondered how come it's has same error on different machines and different os, and my instinct tell me that it MUST be a soft that causes it.

Anyway, happy developing finally.

Now back to the original thread...
...any plans / date on when a fix will be released with Apache 2.2.3 instead?

Or should everyone just ignore the latest release and use the previous one instead?

I hope that question is not meant for me because I'm not wamp's creator, and so far I didn't get any problem w/ wamp 1.7.0 on Win Vista yet. Suggest you should make a new post and address directly to Rom, wamp's creator.

Ahh... sorry for the confusion.

You seemed to be the most regular poster here helping alot of people.
Does the creator of WAMP ever post here or even read these forums for the bug reports, etc?

Probably yes, but it would be better if you have new post address directly to Rom

Since I've succeeded to get wamp running on Vista Premium on my laptop, I think now it's time to re-format my desktops hd's and install both FREE full version Vista Business and Office 07 Pro that I was lucky to get them when M$ gave out 30,000 copies which promoted here:

[forum.wampserver.com]

Of course, I will keep you guy posted.

BTW, I might be out of here for a while.

I doubt I'll be using the WAMP project for much longer anyway, it was just a quick test while I moved the webserver to another machine.

WAMP installs without sandboxing, the deployment package is untested and there is no feedback on bugs from the "creators" who put the package together.

I think Im going to go back to just getting my hands dirty and getting it done right first time, like I've been doing for countless years

wamp is not a production ready platform. it is designed for local development and testing. the latest versions always come with the latest and newest features from mysql, apache, and php. and since they are all new, they have not been throughly tested in a high traffic production server enviornments, and do not have all the bugs worked out yet. that is why if you get a web hosting account, they do not offer the latest versions of apache, mysql, php, etc. because they are not 100% tested yet.
