When I try to access my local website from another device (connected with LAN), I get Forbidden error.
I tried to edit Apache's httpd.conf (as what google told me), repair vcredist packages, uninstalling wamp completely and installing (re-downloaded the latest version), deactivating Antivirus software (I am using BitDefender btw).
About 1 month ago, I was using windows 7 and wamp was working perfectly. After I upgraded to windows 10, I cleaned my pc and installed wamp. At first, I didn't need it's Online mode, but right now, I need it. So, I am open to all new ideas.
Note
-I can reach localhost with my pc (with LAN IP, Router IP and http://localhost)
-I am using Windows 10 Professional x64
-I looked at all of the similar questions and relevant pages on Google, and none of them worked for me
About 3 weeks ago, I started using a new router. Can it cause this problem? or maybe I couldn't install drivers correctly?
don't edit http.config instead edit httpd-vhosts.config
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot c:/wamp/www
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
change Require local to Require all granted. when it is Require local it can be accessed only through localhost request from other hosts are denied. Finally it looks like below
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot c:/wamp/www
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I have a program called ‘project’ that I run from wamp, and everything goes correctly, the problem is that I'm getting the following warning every time I launch wamp:
It's a bad idea to add localhost in the url of launching projects. It is best to define VirtualHost in
wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.37/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
file and not add localhost in the url.
I know there are similar questions with solutions, I have been reading several forums with solutions to solve the problem but I can not get the warning to disappear. In httpd-vhosts.conf I have the following:
# Virtual Hosts
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
ServerAlias localhost
DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"
<Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Can you help me solve it? I get the same warning even if I replace 'localhost' in serverName and ServerAlias with: C:/wamp64/www/project/
My wamp version is 3.1.7 - 64bit:
Within c:\wamp64\wampmanager.conf under [options] you should see urlAddLocalhost = "on", try switching its value to off and restart WAMP.
I'm sorry that I couldn't find any documentation that explains it. I know it because I was looking for something that could link my projects directly from http://localhost and tracked this option from the WAMP scripts. When I enabled it the warning started to show.
PS.: I'm afraid this method I described works only for WAMPSERVER >v3.1
Looking for help on server problem. I have followed the following steps to set up LAMP on the VM
https://cloud.google.com/community/tutorials/setting-up-lamp
I put my Laravel 5.4 website onto the VM, configure the .env for the following:
APP_URL=website_external_IP
But when I access the website by inserting the website_external_IP on my browser, it returns the following image.
Sorry for being noob of server problems but please let me know what else information should I provide for you to figure out the cause of it. Thank you!
1 EDIT:
In response to John Hanley's suggested site. I further made the following edits on the apache conf:
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/laravel_project.conf
sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/laravel_project.conf
and there vim the laravel_project.conf as followings
NameVirtualHost *:8080
Listen 8080
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerAdmin admin#example.com
ServerName laravel.dev
ServerAlias www.laravel.dev
DocumentRoot /home/user/projects/laravel_project/public
<Directory /home/user/projects/laravel_project/public/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
LogLevel debug
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
then
sudo vim /etc/hosts
and add the following line:
127.0.0.1 laravel.dev
then disabled the original conf settings and enable for my site:
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
sudo a2ensite laravel_project.conf
Without having the full understanding of the new edits procedures, accessing the page with IP returns the following error:
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Your Apache web server has directory browsing enabled. Also you do not have a default page present (or enabled) therefore you server is serving up the directory listing.
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Remove the word Indexes from this part of your configuration:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
...
</Directory>
I have seen alot alot of guides how to fox the AH01630 error and some httpd corrections and tweaks.
Surely some will be annoyed me asking for help on this specific topic but I was trying to figure out for hours how to fix my issue.
What did I do?
I have port-forwarded the required ports for Apache and MySQL
I installed WAMP on my computer
I tried to config. httpd
I read about 50 topics according to make my server public accessible
-
I tried to set up the whole thing on a fresh virtual machine
I reinstalled WAMP a few times
So what doesn't work?
The usual access refuse message: Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.
-I found this in the error log: AH01630: client denied by server configuration
I have tried to fix the issue by my own and couldn't proceed further after hours, maybe I forgot a little detail or just something I have to know but I don't because I am uneducated in this specific area
Thanks in advance
Here are the logs and config, if you don't mind and know how to fix the problem send me the finished file
httpd.conf
apache_error.log http:// pastebin. com/YSZDc0tp
access.log http:// pastebin. com/xfwv5ebB
In WAMPServer 3+ there is a Virtual Host defined for localhost by default, and that is where you should make the access amendments and not in httpd.conf
So in httpd.conf replace
# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Require all granted
</Directory>
With
# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Require local
</Directory>
Edit \wamp\bin\apache\apache\apache2.4.18\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf and replace Require local with Require all granted
EG
#
# Virtual Hosts
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#homemail.net
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot E:/wamp/www
<Directory "E:/wamp/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
can anyone help with a following issue:
I am using wamp to run projects in my chrome browser.
after adding a newAlias which points to my project directory c:/dev/myProject
I am getting Forbidden message: you don't have permission to access /newAlias on this server.
I can access default Aliases such as phpmyadmin, webgrind...
but i cannot access my own.
I am using WampServer Version 2.5 64bit on Win 8.1 64bit located in c:/wamp.
I tried basic stuff from the net but with no luck.
Any suggestions?
Edit: content of newAlias:
Alias /bs1/ "c:/_DEV_/git/NewProject/www/"
<Directory "c:/_DEV_/git/NewProject/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Dont change that section of your httpd.conf. Those few lines control access to the root folder of the drive that Apache is installed on. So you just gave full access to anybody with a handy hack.
The process of securing the access via Apache is to deny all access to everything from the root folder and below, and then selectively allow access for specific sites to specific areas/folders of the drive.
A better solution would be to change httpd.conf back to how it was and make the change in your Alias definition. Like this :-
Alias /bs1 "c:/_DEV_/git/NewProject/www/"
<Directory "c:/_DEV_/git/NewProject/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Require local <-- to develop on this PC
Require ip 192.168.1 <-- to access the server from another PC on your network
Require all granted <-- to allow the world to see the beauty of your site
</Directory>
It is actually a better idea to use Virtual Hosts to control each site and not Alias's.
Here is a why and Howto :- WAMPServer 2.5 The Homepage, Your Projects Menu and the need for Virtual Hosts
I've updated WAMP from 2.2.22 to 2.4.9 and found that new aliases didn't work (same error message as yours).
Checking the default aliases like phpmyadmin, I've found this:
Alias /phpmyadmin "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.1.14/"
# to give access to phpmyadmin from outside
# replace the lines
#
# Require local
#
# by
#
# Require all granted
#
<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.1.14/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
<IfDefine APACHE24>
Require local
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine !APACHE24>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost ::1 127.0.0.1
</IfDefine>
php_admin_value upload_max_filesize 128M
php_admin_value post_max_size 128M
php_admin_value max_execution_time 360
php_admin_value max_input_time 360
</Directory>
If you see the contents of the file you'll notice the <IfDefine APACHE24> and <IfDefine !APACHE24> conditionals. So I've changed my alias .conf file from:
Alias /svn "c:/work/website-svn/"
<Directory "c:/work/website-svn/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
to:
Alias /svn "c:/work/website-svn/"
<Directory "c:/work/website-svn/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Require local
</Directory>
That solved my problem, I hope it solves yours.
I am no expert on this but the answer above seemed like I was granting access to my entire computer...So tried modifying the above answer to only giving access to where my alias folder is...
So instead...Go to the httpd.conf file...and do a search for...
<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all denied
</Directory>
and below that add the following
<Directory "c:/path-to-your-alias-folder...">
AllowOverride none
Require all granted
</Directory>
This worked to me and I think it might be a bit safer...Again I am no expert here...Just trying to make it work...
for allow permission for your server & wamp you require 3 steps please ensure these 3 things after that you can access your site from other network with ip address e.g http://192.168.1.1/yoursitefoldername
(192.168.1.1 is you computer or vps ip address "yoursitefoldername" is folder name of your site which should be in your wamp->www folder)
1.
first of all
Port 80 and 443 must be allow for both TCP and UDP packets. To do this, create 2 inbound rules for TPC and UDP on Windows Firewall for port 80 and 443.
(or you can disable your whole firewall for testing but permanent solution if allow inbound rule)
2.
If you are using WAMPServer 3 See bottom of answer
For WAMPServer versions <= 2.5
You need to change the security setting on Apache to allow access from anywhere else, so edit your httpd.conf file.
Change this section from :
# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
Allow from localhost
To :
# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
if "Allow from all" line not work for your then use "Require all granted"
then it will work for you.
WAMPServer 3 has a different method
In version 3 and > of WAMPServer there is a Virtual Hosts pre defined for localhost so dont amend the httpd.conf file at all, leave it as you found it.
Using the menus, edit the httpd-vhosts.conf file.
It should look like this :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot D:/wamp/www
<Directory "D:/wamp/www/">
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Amend it to
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot D:/wamp/www
<Directory "D:/wamp/www/">
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Hopefully you will have created a Virtual Host for your project and not be using the wamp\www folder for your site. In that case leave the localhost definition alone and make the change only to your Virtual Host.
3.
Dont forget to restart All Services of Wamp or Apache after making this change
I found a solution which worked for me.
In httpd.conf i changed:
<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all denied
</Directory>
to
<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all granted
</Directory>
Which solved the issue and allowed me to access my custom aliases.
I would suggest that you consider setting up virtual hosts instead. It takes a few more minutes, but it's more bulletproof. RiggsFolly's answer to a similar question is excellent in its detail, rigor, and utility:
Project Links do not work on Wamp Server
I have a quick issue. I am trying to use Laravel for the first time. To do so, I'm using Wamp. And I don't know if this is important, but I set the DocumentRoot of wamp at this address :
DocumentRoot "C:\Users\Bebop\Documents\Site Internet/"
I using wamp for a lot of different websites in a folder called Sites. When I access to one of the site I go to : localhost/Sites/thewebsite. So really what I want is just to get rid of the public folder in the path to the Laravel website.
For the moment I've did :
Change httpd.conf of apache to include vhosts.conf :
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Created a new Virtual hosts and configured the directory like so :
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Bebop/Documents/Site Internet/Sites/LaravelTest/public"
ServerName Sites/LaravelTest
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
After that I added a new host in the file located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 Sites/LaravelTest
By doing this, when I go to localhost I get redirected to the Laravel websites. But I would like to go to localhost/Sites/LaravelTest, because now I can't access to all my other websites.
Does anyone know how to do that ?
Thanks a lot for your help
Assuming that you want to reach your Laravel site at: http://localhost/LaravelSite/
You can either use an alias in your httpd.conf file:
Alias /LaravelSite/ "C:/Users/Bebop/Documents/Site Internet/Sites/LaravelTest/public/"
<Directory "C:/Users/Bebop/Documents/Site Internet/Sites/LaravelTest/public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
or, create a symbolic link under command-prompt with the following:
mklink /D "C:\Users\Bebop\Documents\Site Internet\Sites\LaravelSite" "C:\Users\Bebop\Documents\Site Internet\Sites\LaravelTest\public"`
