WampServer

Hello,

I am not able to access the any of the alias of wamp.

Getting the message while accessing is "Forbidden

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

I am using windows 8.

Help me out !

Thanks!

It could be a number of things but it is probably that apache is Listening on the W8 IPV6 default localhost address which is ::1


1. edit httpd.conf, using the link on the wampserver icon wampserver -> apache -> https.conf
find the line > Listen 80
and change to > listen 0.0.0.0:80

This will force apache to listen on IPV4 and make the pre-configured phpMyAdmin security configuration compatable.

By default phpMyAdmin has the following access restriction:
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1

IP Address 127.0.0.1 is the IPv4 address for localhost

You may also need to make sure your HOSTS file has the line
#127.0.0.1 localhost
uncommented to
127.0.0.1 localhost
or add it if it does not exists.


The hosts file is protected by windows, in order to save it you must have Administrator privilages.
Vista/W7/W8 you may think you are an Administrator BUT YOU ARE NOT.

To successfully save the hosts file do this to launch your editor with Admin Privilages.

Locate your editors icon on the desktop or from the Start menus ( notepad will do if you have nothing else )
left click + shift over your chosen editor icon - will show a menu.
select "Run As Administrator" from the menu.
Navigate your editor to the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

When you have made changes you will now be allowed to save them.

Hi,
Similar problem on Vista.
I have loaded WAMP (plus php / mysql), goes green correctly.

I have not loaded anything else.
To check it I tried going to localhost, phpmyadmin, but all I get is :

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

I have also gone into my browser (Firefox) and entered localhost - same result.

I have checked the HOSTS file, and also changed Listen 80 to Listen 0.0.0.80

Something simple I hope.

Regards,
Stephen

Sorry: have sorted out my problem above.....

Regards,
Stephen.

Solved! tnx!

PS
W7_x64_SP1

Give Inetmgr in Run

Stop all the IIS pages those are running. (To stop Right click on folders and select stop)

Try running the [localhost] page again.

if issue persists check files availability in www folder in c:/wamp or c:/wampserver folder

Hi,
I am a newbie to WAMP Server and trying to make it work.
When I try to access localhost following error displayed.
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Apache Error Log generates these lines.

Found mine at

Thanks RiggsFolly, resolved this issue by following what you said,

1. edit httpd.conf, using the link on the
> wampserver icon wampserver -> apache -> https.conf
>
> find the line > Listen 80
> and change to > listen 0.0.0.0:80

I then stopped, started, then restarted the service on the icon and issue resolved!

You can find Cause and solutions from here: Forbidden You don't have permission

I had done all these things
But phpmyadmin is giving me the same error
that you don't have permissions
phpmyadmin is working when i open it from 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin

firstly phpmyadmin is working with 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin
but now it also giving me the same error
that u dont have permissions to access it
