WampServer

Very first installation of WAMP, and everything seems to be installed correctly on a Windows 7 Professional x64 server. Locally I have no problem accessing the website I am testing (I am able to browse to locahost/config.html), but when I try to go to the website from another PC on the same subnet (http://ip_address/config.html) I get an error:

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

I have double check that WAMP is ONLINE, but no luck. The message above leads me to believe that I am reaching the Apache server, so all Firewall Rules are properly set on the host server. What I am doing wrong?

The main difference from all the other users is that my installation path is a not on the C: drive, but on a secondary E: drive; would that affect me not being able to browser the website from a different PC on the same subnet?

I have checked as much configurations as I possible can, and know, and everything seems to be OK; but still no luck. any help will be greatly appreciated.

_______________A Little More Information ___________________________________

Checking the APACHE ERROR LOGS, I see the following:

[Thu Aug 09 21:05:06.544097 2012] [authz_core:error] [pid 7112:tid 796] [client 192.168.0.147:53398] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: E:/wamp/www/config.html

APACHE ACCESS LOGS also show the entry correlate to the error, and the 403 reply back to the client PC

192.168.0.147 - - [09/Aug/2012:21:05:06 -0400] "GET /config.html HTTP/1.1" 403 213

This messages definitively confirms that I am reaching the Apache server, but there is something on the configuration (httpd.conf) that I am overlooking, even after putting WAMP online.

Any hep will be greatly appreciated.

i solved this for someone else the other day.

Either you both added a blank line to the code OR it seems the online/offline feature is broken in one of the downloads.



if you open the httpd.conf and search for "Require local"
you should find it directly after "# onlineoffline tag - don't remove" but their code looked more like this

                 #   onlineoffline tag - don't remove

                 Require local

the actually code should look EXACTLY line this ( it has to be completly left aligned and no blank line)

#   onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Require local

then save and restart wampserver.

you may need to click online/offline 3 times because it may take 1 go to miss the code because its on the wrong setting, then once to sync with it, then once to change it to what you want.

i can't fix it.
This is my httpd.conf part:
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# [httpd.apache.org]
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
# Online --> Require all granted

# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Require local

</Directory>

mail sended.

Sorry....i dend it to stevenmartin99@gmail.com

So I had this problem, and solved it by changing "Require local" to "Require all granted".

Also make sure you have set the Listen to "Listen 80" in the same file.

Changing "Require local" to "Require all granted" fixed my inability to access the web server from non-local addresses also.

Hello! I Use latest version of WAMP and have that issue - how fix it? When I try to access site from internet I have error:Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.
