WampServer

Hi all.
Just updated to WAMP Server 2.2E (Apache 2.4.2 – Mysql 5.5.24 – PHP 5.4.3 XDebug 2.1.2 XDC 1.5 PhpMyadmin 3.4.10.1 SQLBuddy 1.3.3 webGrind 1.0).

My first problem is I don't know how to setup Apache to get outside connections (from my LAN & the internet). I did it on my previous configuration, but now I can't do it again (httpd.conf changed...?)

And my next question is, what are the differences between the 64 & 32 bit versions?

Thanks in advance,
Noam Ben-Shabat

from the wamp manager icon in the system tray:

left click -> Put Online

This will change the httpd.conf file for you and restart apache.

It will change the
# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1

To

# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all


This allowing apache to listen to any ip address in the universe.

did it alreay, but I get "Forbidden" error on the outside computer.
the relevant config at httpd.conf:
#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
# Online --> Require all granted

# onlineoffline tag - don't remove

Require local
(while online). tried to add it manually but still, no luck.

Ah yes sorry you are using Apache 2.4, that now uses the Require and not the Allow

You need to change it manually to this

Require all granted

See the apache docs [httpd.apache.org]

I guess there is a buglet in the wamp server that is not processing this bit correctly.
