WampServer

Hi there,

I already used the search, but I didn´t found a solution for my problem.
I installed the lastest version of Wampserver on a fresh installed W2K SVR system.
Everthing works fine, but I can´t access [localhost].
I only get the message: HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden....

I already tried the steps from [forum.wampserver.com], but I still have the same problem.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

make sure wamp is in offline mode. if it is in offine mode, it uses localhost. if in online mode, it uses your ip address.

start wamp, left click on the wamp tray icon menu -> offline mode

I changed C:\wamp\Apache2\conf\alias\phpmyadmin.conf from

Allow from 127.0.0.1
to
Allow from all

If you are running on a testbed machine which doesn't expose port 80 it's not a problem.

that is not a good idea, since now everyone will have access to your phpmyadmin. that is the last thing you should do.

sparkes, if have made these changes and allow access to phpmyadmin to anyone for gods sake make sure you setup phpmyadmin to show a login page so people have to login first before accessing phpmyadmin.

to setup login, in your phpmyadmin conf file config.ini.php (C:\wamp\phpmyadmin\config.inc.php) and find this line:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';

change it to:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';

- OR -
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http';


using 'cookie' wil show a page where the user must enter their user id and password before accessing phpmyadmin. using 'http' will make a login box prompt up and require a user id and password to access phpmyadmin

to learn how to add users and passwords using phpmyadmin, see the 'using phphmyadmin' section of my wamp manual. the link to the manual is in my sig.

I'm having the same problem. The only way I can get phpmyadmin to work is to follow sparkes instructions and allow to all. I don't want to do this per Cybers direction. I just installed wamp on a box I just set up with Win 2000. (This was the first and only installation I have on this machine. ) After I installed, I can see [localhost] but that is it. Both PHPMyadmin and mysqllite do not work. I receive 403 errors. I tried putting offline and that didn't work either. I've installed WAMP5 Version 1.7.1.

From reading the forums it is looking like there is a problem with WAMP on win2K. I unisnstalled and installed WAMP5 Version 1.6.6. This seemed to do the trick.....

Maybe an issue with your IE. Try to use Firefox instead of IE if it's your default browser. On my side I have only permission access problem that I must solved. I was having issue on accessing another php file with IE and HTTP 403 error was appearing.

hello backfire,
try edit config.inc.php from the folder c:\wamp\phpmyadmin an then , at line 31, complete (modify) with :

$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://localhost/phpmyadmin/';

stop and restart all services in wamp and test.
