WampServer

Immediately after WAMP installation on my windows machine. I clicked localhost and phpadmin in wampserver admin menu. I get this message in server

Forbidden

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

Forbidden

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

Can anyone help me out about this issue?

Forbidden

I have noticed that when I click the green icon in the tray there is an option to put online. I clicked that and it work. Never had to do that before. I assumed since I have the green icon it was online.

No that's not what online means

I just loaded WAMP for the first time and have the same issue. My icon is green and the server is online.

I was having the same issue. What worked for me was updating the host file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) and removing the following line:

::1 localhost

yes or adding


allow from localhost

in c:\wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf will accompilish the same thing

Did so, also had issues with the Deny from all command. Comment it out, restart services, and was golden.

Just in case you also had similar issues.

WARNING: Doing this may leave you somewhat vulnerable!

Not sure why they released WAMP with such a massive issue with access permissions. This will need to be resolved or documented in the installation guide if they choose not to fix.

There is no issue!
It's your pc and version of windows that cannot correctly ascertain that 127.0.0.1 and localhost are the same thing

I know it most be out of line to ask this here , but anyway, im trying to put up wamp on windows server 2008, and i got little experience in server 2008, so my windows doesn't get that 127.0.0.1 and localhost are the same thing, any lead on how or where to look for a solution with this?

thank you

Make sure you host file is present. If not try this

[support.microsoft.com]

Uninstall wamp

Fix host file

reinstall wamp

Worked for me..

If you can edit your host file make sure

127.0.0.1 localhost does not have a # in front of it..

Make sure that that your wamp can read hosts file

Where is the host file, please?

There are a whole lot of files in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ directory.

Where would a person add that line (allow from localhost)?

Here is the file I found; does it matter where one adds the three new words?

Alias /phpmyadmin "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.10.1/"
