WampServer

I have installed wampserver and when i open localhost it opens properly or as it should. When i click on phpmyadmin to create a database i get a 403 error. Why is that? Can some one pls tell me? Am i missing something? Do i need to install something other then wampserver on my computer??

I am using wampserver 2.2 on a 32 bit vista home.

The php myadmin conf file is also ok... i have checked it twice.

I am a newbie and i dont know much so please explain it detail...
It would be very helpful.

Same issue i also get it.

When open phpmyadmin the following message came.

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/index.php on this server.


How i solve this problem?

I am using windows XP(SP3)

Thanks

I had this same issue on a Win7 machine - I used 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost and got in. Don't have a clue as too why as I am a newbie

Hi All,

I Solved this issue.

Solution.

Open alias/phpmyadmin.conf file

Replace the sentence

"Deny from all" to "Allow from all"

Restart the Wamp server.

Thanks

A maybe better solution would have been this one. I quote:

Or use 127.0.0.1 in your browser instead of localhost.

I believe changing "Deny from all" to "Allow from all" and thereby giving access to everyone isn't very secure. However It might not matter if you don't go online anyway. I'm no expert

I didn't follow his advise 1:1 btw. I'd already made some entry's in that file which I still need so I just added 127.0.0.1 localhost. Worked!
