WampServer

I have had wampserver on my computer before and everything worked fine I just used it. Now I can't get permission to use Myphpadmin How do I get permission

I would like to know that myself. Having this issue for quite a while.

Hii,
I did few efforts and got this problem solved

if you are getting the message like you don't have permission to access it blah blah!

then go to your root folder mine is C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\conf

and find for httpd.conf

open it in notepad

find the line where the word is Listen:80

and where you want to enter your machine_ip mine is 127.0.0.1

so I did - Listen 127.0.0.1:80

hurrey! my wamp is now running from my localhost too....

this is because your locahost address comes with port 80

and because of some technical reason the port 80 or local host becomes a default port
but where the IP i.e. 127.0.0.1 is assigned and assumed as your localhost then the server start running from this address like [127.0.0.1] where you want to run it from your default localhost
you have to make a "bridge" to get your localhost's permission in to your wamp server.

and the port 80 will work like a bridge

I get this trick from my own testing
I did a try to run my localhost:80 in browser and got same result [localhost]
I again did a try to run my 127.0.0.1:80 and also got a same result [127.0.0.1]

it meas the port 80 is the same for those two "things" but somewhere it gets conflict to recognize it so I start looking conf files and changed the above one logically and that worked for me!!

thanks nrich I went ahead and made the changes you said but I had already fixed the problem I add a line to Alias in apache (Allow from 127.0.0.1 Add: Allow from ::1) adding the Allow from ::1 to the end.

I am still trying to get Nodx to run it is a CMS program and when I click on my project I get a 503 error if you can help me with that one.

Thanks

Hi I just signed up for an account to tell you thank you - you are a genius. I did what you said and it worked perfectly. I suggest everyone else does the same.

I tried setting IP to 127.0.0.1:80 but the problem is still 403
