WAMP 403 Forbidden message on Windows 7

The access to your Apache server is forbidden from addresses other than 127.0.0.1 in httpd.conf (Apache's config file) :

<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks    AllowOverride all    Order Deny,Allow    Deny from all    Allow from 127.0.0.1</Directory>

The same goes for your PHPMyAdmin access, the config file is phpmyadmin.conf :

<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/">    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews    AllowOverride all        Order Deny,Allow        Deny from all        Allow from 127.0.0.1</Directory>

You can set them to allow connections from all IP addresses like follows :

AllowOverride AllOrder allow,denyAllow from all

I found a simpler fix...

Although the icon was green WAMP still needs to be "Put Online" (last item of menu when left-clicking icon).

After that I had access as normal.

For me the inclusion of "Require local" helped to solve Error 403. The alias config file looks like this:

Alias /mytest/ "C:/mytest/" <Directory "C:/mytest/">    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews    AllowOverride all        Order allow,deny    Allow from all    Require local</Directory>
