What if you tried localhost or 127.0.0.1 ?

I can access it locally but not through other. Computers not on my network

You will need to put wamp ONLINE.


When wamp is OFFLINE it only allows access from ip address 127.0.0.1, for security reasons obviously as wamp is designed to be a development environmant and not live

When you PUT ONLINE it changes this to allow access from anywhere

it is on line and when i try to create the website on mysql using my ip address it wont create the database

phpMyAdmin is setup to only be allowed to run from localhost. ( security )

have a look as c:\wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf

<Directory "D:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.3.9/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

It specifies Allow from 127.0.0.1 ONLY

You could try adding a line like this

Allow from 192.168.0

This will allow access from ANY IP on your internal network.

Check that 192.168.0 are the first 3 numbers of your subnet!!!

I dont know what that means?
