Hello all, thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
I am receiving a 403 Forbidden error on localhost/ but not on localhost/phpmyadmin
--------------------------------------------------------
I have WampServer2 on a Windows XP machine. I work on a network and have Administrative rights assigned for the entire Wamp folder and I have both of these services (wampapache and wampmysqld) started and running automatically. My WampServer Icon is still red, even after restarting. I also tried putting the server online--to no avail.
What is confusing me is that i am able to access: localhost/phpmyadmin, but not localhost or any of my virtual hosts (e.g. test.localhost or localhost/test).
What could possibly be causing this error?
--------------------------------------------------------
I have my hosts file configured:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 test.localhost
--------------------------------------------------------
I have my vhosts file included and configured:
(un-commented line 466 of C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.17\conf\httpd.conf)
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin
webmaster@form.localhostDocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/test"
ServerName test.localhost
ErrorLog "logs/test-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/test-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
--------------------------------------------------------
I do not have IIS or Skype running or anything that appears to be conflicting with port 80.
--------------------------------------------------------
Windows Firewall is turned off...
Symantec is installed on this machine...
Am I getting stuck behind the firewall? If so, then why would I be able to access localhost/phpmyadmin but not localhost or test.localhost?
I've setup WAMP numerous numerous times, but am dead in the water on this one.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
~dale
